First Things First

If only people would listen to wisdom.
In Biblical times, it was important to plant your fields and insure a harvest, before you built a house. Having shelter is nice; but you don't need a mansion. It's infinitely more important to have food, than shelter. In other words, don't spend what you don't have.
Too many people go into debt for a house, before they have even established their career or settled on a job they enjoy...or saved any money.
As I point out in my book, "Financial Freedom," debt is the ultimate form of bondage. It's not wise to go into debt, even for house, until you have established your career and have enough money saved for an emergency (at least six months income)...and a substantial down payment.
Our buy-now, pay-later mentality has created hardship on or destroyed many a relationship. Debt is the the killer of hopes and dreams.
Don't be in a hurry to put yourself in bondage...stay out of debt.

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
