Much of our cultural today assumes their responsiblity as a Christian steward in terms of prosperity and the economic realities of yesterday. I presume that in order to demonstrate Christian stewardship, all generations must be called to give more with less. We have long taught the church that giving may require us to sacrifice at some point or another- the time has come. Are we ready?

I appreciate how your tips are relevant to any Christian in any financial situation. I feel for those who have found themselves sliding sliding sliding already as it could look like quite an impossible road to travel to get on top of it all. If that's you - keep going and trust that God who loves you so so much, will not forsake you there, but will be with you all the way. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom.
