In many Christian circles, debt is considered to be a sin, and there’s strong Biblical support for that position. But is it also possible that unless it’s taken to an extreme that debt isn’t quite a sin–maybe it’s just a temptation. Neither situation is good. A sin is a sin, and a temptation is something [...]

Should the Poor Give?

by Timothy Artisan April 24, 2012

The Bible is clear on tithe (the word tithe itself means ten percent), and that tithing is one more step towards obedience to God. The important thing that people miss about tithe is: God doesn’t need your money. It is important to understand that tithing is more a demonstration of where your heart is, and [...]

Sometimes the shortest verses pack the hardest punch.  When it comes to verses about money, the Bible is no different.  I’m always amazed with how clear the Bible is when it comes to stewardship and money management.

I’ve previously written on Faith and Finance about Christian Business Leaders, and their place in the world. I believe that not only is there room for Christian Business Leaders, but I believe there is a shortage of Christian business leaders who will not only run their business with the utmost integrity, but will also stand firmly in [...]

Here’s a debate that’s fun to rip open from time-to-time. Are credit cards sinful? More specifically, is using a credit card a sin?

Psalm 15:5 who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken. Christianity means many things.

While Occupy Wall Street is slowly working its way out of the news, the ideas behind it are holding strong: being rich is evil. If you’re well above the average (the saying goes) you should have your riches taken away from you. It doesn’t matter how you collected the money. If you have it, you [...]

I love the feeling of landing on ‘Free Parking’ in Monopoly, especially when it’s loaded up with $500 bills.  Or how about when you own all four Railroads and someone takes a ride on the Reading – cha-ching!
