The 5 principles of good stewardship, reminding me that this world is indeed not my home (gleaned from my quiet time today):
1. Evaluate every purchase as to how it would make your ministry more effective
2. Since God owes you nothing, everything you receive from Him should make you thankful
3. Learn to distinguish wants from needs, and thereby increase the amount of money you have available for the Lord
4. Discipline yourself to spend less than you earn and save the rest for worthwhile causes and needs that arise. Do not amass credit card debt
5. Lastly, learn to give sacrifically to God's kingdom
[For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36]
