Pastor Rick Warren: Investing in God’s Treasury Fund as an Act of Worship
August 6, 2018 By Leave a Comment
By Rick Warren
“Honor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income” (Proverbs 3:9 TLB).
The Bible says, “Honor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income” (Proverbs 3:9 TLB). We honor God when we tithe. It’s an act of worship.
God wants you to give to this fund before you invest in any of the other funds. Why? He wants our hearts more than anything else. He doesn’t want our money; he wants what it represents.
Wherever I put my money shows my priorities and values.
This week, look through your checkbook and your credit card statements. What do they say about where your heart is today?
Where do you want your heart to be? Put your money there!

Pastor Rick Warren: Use Your Money to Grow Your Character
August 2, 2018 By Leave a Comment
By Rick Warren
“Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense — these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell” (Proverbs 23:23 GNT).
The Bible also says, “Buy truth — don’t sell it for love or money; buy wisdom, buy education, buy insight” (Proverbs 23:23 The Message). God wants you to develop skills and educate yourself so that you can become the kind of person he has shaped you to be.
Anytime we use our money to buy a Christian book or a resource that helps us grow, we’re investing in God’s Growth Fund. Whenever we use our money to take a class or learn something that makes us more of who or what God wants us to be, we’re investing in our growth. And God is smiling because we’re using our money in the right way.
Editorial: Here’s why restrictions on 3D guns would violate the First Amendment as well as the Second
August 1, 2018 By Leave a Comment
Gun control advocates don’t just have a problem with the Second Amendment – they also have real problems with the First Amendment. In an era when people can use 3D metal printers to make guns, does the First Amendment protect a book detailing a gun-manufacturing process – but not a computer file that does the same thing?

| Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. |
