Biblical Answer

Financial Crisis and Family

A financial crisis can be a devastating experience for a business and a family. The Bible reminds us that we can't take anything with us when we die, and that our wealth and possessions are temporary (1 Corinthians 16:2, italics added). It's not selfish to prioritize our financial security, but rather irresponsible not to do so. The goal is to save ourselves from financial ruin, and to be wise stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.

Starting with Family

Starting with our family can be a great way to build financial security and create a legacy that will outlast us. By committing to our family's financial well-being, we can create a culture of generosity and contentment that will bless not only ourselves but also future generations. As the Bible reminds us, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6). By prioritizing our family's financial security, we can experience the richest rewards and create a lasting impact.

Living Wisely

To avoid financial crises, it's essential to live wisely and be content with what we have. We should not be controlled by the current of culture, which can lead us to prioritize luxuries over what's truly essential. Instead, we should use our schedules to protect and enrich our relationships, and to create a culture of generosity and gratitude. By doing so, we can experience rich relationships and a lasting legacy that will outlast us. As the Bible reminds us, "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men" (Colossians 3:23). By living wisely and prioritizing our family's financial security, we can create a lasting impact and experience the richest rewards.
