Is your personal bank balance dragging down your ministry?

Some say money is the root of all evil.  Actually, it should be stated, "THE LOVE OF money is the root of all evil."  That's biblical.

But when there's no money in the first place, what's to love?????

I bet there are a lot of people in ministry today who are struggling with the distraction of the wallet.  There never seems to be enough money to do the things we really wish we could do, or have to do - as in paying the electric bill, the mortgage, gasoline.

What do YOU do to maintain financial health?  How to do you keep your financial condition from becoming a distraction to your ministry focus?  A lot will have to do with spending habits.

The folks at Crown Financial have a great article on their website regarding compulsive and impulsive spending.  They outline a few guidelines to help us with controlled spending.  One of those guidelines is to create a "want-to-buy" list.  Wait seven days and find two additional prices for the same item.  If the need or want for the items remains after a week, go ahead and buy it.  But remember to keep only one item on the list at a time.

Visit the site for the entire article.

Also, visit their Money Map Coaching page.  If you really are in need of help, get coaching.  It's a proven method for identifying and achieving the goals you need to succeed.

When finances are where they need to be, you are serving strong!
