Everyone Is Recovering From Something
​
Biblical Strategies for Overcoming Life's Setbacks
One of the cardinal rules of being human is that nobody, absolutely nobody, goes through life without something in their past or present that either accompanies them like a shadow that waits for the right conditions to manifest itself, or haunts them like a ghost and can impact their personality, character, perception of others and vision of life- for better or for worse. Everybody is either trying to live up to something or someone, or live down something or someone, and the process has either shaken or shaped their core values.

Twenty-five Reasons To Tithe
Tithing as a lifestyle means the giving of a tenth of everything we have and everything we are--time, talent, and treasure, as minimum gifts of worship, praise and thanksgiving to God, after we have given ourselves to the Lord. All that we have and all that we are belong to God. When we receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, we consciously, joyfully, and willfully acknowledge, surrender, and commit all that we are and all that we have to God.

Financial Barriers
Messages For Finiancal Empowerment
God has a vision for our lives that is greater than any vision we can have for ourselves. However many persons are not walking in the vision God has for their lives or living to their maximum capacity because of financial issues. Many persons still struggle with financial bondage and management.

10 Steps To Financial Freedom
Money mismanagement issues do not mean that we are bad people. Being deep in debt does not make one a bad or evil person. Money mismanagement issues and critical debt simply means that God's people need assistance in managing money. While there are those who know how to make and manage money, others of us need assistance in acquiring that knowledge. There is no mystique in making and managing money. These skills can be taught and learned like any other skill such as driving a car, playing a piano, or learning to use technology.
