Money! Money!

Money! Money! We all need it, want more of it, and can manage it better.  What is it? Clearly, it's money.  Is it really the root of evil today, as some claim? Absolutely not ! This common misconception of money as evil is cleared up by going to the source .  (1  Timothy 6:10 )  “ For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."   However, we are equally admonished for not providing for our loved ones. (1 Timothy 5:8 )    “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”   The Bible clearly calls for us all to be good financial stewards . (Proverbs 13:16)  “A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t, and even brags about it!” (Proverbs 21:5)  “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” (Proverbs...

Soulful Style: Expressing Identity

Soulful Style: Expressing Identity Self-Reflection Questions:    What's your style?  How do you express yourself?  What makes your soul sing?  How do you show up? How do you want to show up? Let's not confuse style with something else. Fashion is not style. " Miranda: You have no sense of fashion. Andy: I think that depends on… Miranda: No, no, that wasn't a question." 'The Devil Wears Prada'. - Clothing itself is not style.  Garments provide a covering for our bodies, so perhaps you don’t think what you wear is important beyond comfort and protective use ( check out knight armory ). Style is the  how and the why , it represents the attention and expertise behind how and why something is done, which gives it both purpose and meaning . Think of style as a statement, an illustration, a representation, or a symbol of something else. Think of a military uniform, a physician's white coat , a queen with her crowns, jewels, velvet robes, and a scept...
