While the financial picture of a young church may not bring incredible excitement now, as the church grows and becomes established, there will be plenty of money to manage. Managing a lot of money successfully depends on the very same principles for managing smaller amounts of money. In other words, to manage a lot of money well, we must be able to manage lesser amounts well. Being faithful with small things before being charged with greater things is a principle set forth by Jesus long ago.
Do you have any helpful hints as to what you've done to live more frugally? How can a church planter successfully build a church while at the same time maintaining proper management of Personal Finances?

I appreciate what Bro. Miller said about when you take care of your personal finances it removes some of the stressors and helps you to be more affective in ministry. I completely agree. This is a session I think everybody could would benefit from.
ReplyDeleteI have been working Dave Ramsey's debt reduction program. I understand that not everybody would agree with everything He says, but I have found a plan that has worked for me and our personal finances. Over the last year we have been able to retire the majority of our debt. Regardless of what program you choose to help handle personal finance, I think God honors your efforts when you are faithful with what he has given.
ReplyDeleteI've heard too many good things about Dave Ramsey's teaching to not give it a look.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing I can say is to remember that your personal financial decision can/most likely will have an impact on your church plant, so think about that before entering into debt!
