What Are You Passing Forward? with Ron Blue

In a relay race runners don't leave the baton behind They pass it forward to someone prepared to carry it Shouldn't we think about inheritance the same way When we consider leaving an inheritance we naturally focus on the financial resources we'll pass along But an inheritance involves more than transferring money or possessions It also involves preparing the people who will receive them Proverbs reminds us How much better to get wisdom than gold To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver Ron Blue founder of Kingdom Advisors and Blue Trust and a pioneer in Christian financial [... more]

Learning the Art of Refusal Part 2 (Titus 3:9)

Share a commentThe fastest way to weaken a church is not always persecution from the outside It's distraction from the inside We wrestle with Paul's straight talk to Titus in Titus and the uncomfortable truth that a congregation can spend its energy on arguments that feel spiritual while producing nothing but heat hurt and division When opinions gain authority traditions start acting like doctrine and being right becomes the win condition the gospel mission quietly slips to the background We also dig into the social dynamics Paul calls out genealogy pride status signaling and the temptation to treat background or [... more]

Remember! Part 2 (Titus 3:3–4)

Share a comment I want that shade and that shade and that shade We start with a line that sounds funny until it exposes something deadly serious covetousness does not just tempt us it trains us The more we chase the less we're satisfied and what feels like freedom turns into a quiet kind of bondage We walk through why materialism and hedonism are not side issues but symptoms of a deeper problem of the heart where desire becomes a master and contentment starts to feel impossible From there we zoom out to the culture around us When a society [... more]

Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture it's more More upgrades More comfort More square footage More of whatever promises to make life a little better Yet despite having more than previous generations could have imagined many of us feel less satisfied than ever Why Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next It's cultivated in the heart right where we are And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon It's something we can learn Why More Is Never EnoughWe're all tempted to believe that the next purchase promotion milestone or change in circumstances will finally [... more]

3 Questions To Ask Before Dipping Into Your Emergency Fund

Having an emergency fund is an important part of wise financial stewardship But building one is only half the battle You also need to know when to use it It can be tempting to dip into emergency savings whenever an unexpected expense or even an especially appealing purchase comes along But if we use those funds too freely the money may not be there when a genuine emergency arrives Proverbs offers a helpful reminder Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling but a foolish man devours it The principle is simple wisdom prepares rather than consuming everything [... more]

Preparing the Next Steward

Jonathan Edwards once said True legacy consists not of what we leave behind but of what we instill in others That's an important reminder especially when we think about money and inheritance All of us have a natural desire to provide for the people we love Whether it's our children grandchildren or others God has entrusted to our care we want to leave them in a better position than we were That's a good desire Proverbs says A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children But Scripture encourages us to think about inheritance as more than simply transferring [... more]

What book of the Bible reminds us that life is short and wisdom means making the most of the time God has given us Ecclesiastes This remarkable book refuses to let us avoid one of life's most uncomfortable realities our time here is brief Life under the sun is fleeting our accomplishments will not last forever and eventually every one of us will leave behind everything we have accumulated But Ecclesiastes does not confront us with mortality simply to make us somber It reminds us that life is short so we will learn to receive it as a gift And [... more]
