Consumer Math

Most of you do not need to be convinced that money is important. The things you want and like probably all require money. But a Christian has a far greater reason to be concerned about making wise decisions with his money than getting things he wants. God placed mankind on the earth to exercise a good and wise stewardship of it (Gen. 1:28). Because money and material things are central to human existence, no good stewardship can exist without good financial decisions. Taking that responsibility seriously is a key way to show love to God. What we do with our money and our things also demonstrates how much we love the people around us (Eph. 4:28). --
