Six Key Financial Principles
Today in worship we will look closely at biblical principles of money management and learn how they apply to our daily lives. We will review some common pitfalls and cultural traps and discover how to avoid them. We also will receive a reminder of the Six Key Financial Principles. (Hint: This useful tool, which is designed for all of us, can be especially helpful in training youth and young adults as they begin to develop lifelong habits in personal finance.) We hope you will take time this week to read these principles and scriptures. They will make a great table devotional for you and your family. By practicing these biblical principles, all of us can find greater simplicity, generosity, joy and peace for our lives.
