Jesus spoke about money and material possessions
more than he talked about heaven, hell, or prayer.
He noted the relationship between a man's heart
and his wallet, warning, "Where your treasure
is, there your heart will be." This contemporary
retelling of the Rich Young Ruler
brings a fresh look at the relationship between
a person's faith and their finances.

FINANCES: In God We Trust you'll find spiritual
insight and practical advice from Christy
award-winning writer Ann Tatlock, plus best-selling
authors, Loree Lough, Yvonne Lehman, Virginia Smith,
Irene Brand, DiAnn Mills, Miralee Ferrell, Shelby
Rawson and many more.
Great faith calls us to trust God, not our wealth.

"For some time, I grappled with the Faith
and FINANCES idea and responsibility of tithing.
I consulted family, friends and local ministries
on God's expectations and commandments of me. I
am aware of the tithing percentage etc but I am
not always in close and consistent and in communion
with a church, chapel or other Christian edifice.
In other words, I do not attend church often...not
nearly as often as I did while growing up (respectively,
my mother and grandmother were very diligent with
this: two Sunday services, usher meeting, choir
practice, prayer meeting, bible study, you name
it 7 days a week, every week, every year). We were
Baptists, and I grew up in Texas.
"By way of several cities, I now currently
reside in New York City and am finally in a crossroads
of my spiritual growth to want to give tithing,
to want to be obedient, no matter what. A dear older
cousin of mine (much older, she is my mother's cousin)
put it to me plainly one day. We went to the Bible
and read plain scripture, in black & white,
of God's requirements of me. Afterwards she said,
"If you are finding difficulty in giving of
tithes to a church home of which you have none,
then you should give to where you are spiritually
fed.
"I do not currently have a job; my boss
quit her job so I was subsequently downsized over
the recent New Year's holiday. Praise be to God,
we both knew it was a long time coming...I was in
executive human resources and my boss was EVP. Nonetheless,
I have experienced great spiritual growth throughout
year 2009 and seen the differences in my personal
and professional life and opportunities. God has
reached me and I am listening, again. Thank you
for your work. I continue to read and retain the
daily devotions and hope God will continue His presence
in your life and beyond. I am sure we remain in
touch." - C in New York
