I'm thinking of starting very simply with Exodus 20:17, pointing out that one can covet something as small as a Coke--leading to fiscal bondage.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-650610704404075412010-10-13T10:51:59.903-05:002010-10-13T10:51:59.903-05:00Observations (from Pastoring in 3 churches, and be...Observations (from Pastoring in 3 churches, and being a Deacon in 4). Most churches have a lot to learn about budgeting, tracking of spending, and savings. <br /><br />You don't hear very often, "let's save up for that project". My wife says that most churches have ignored the 7 fat cows / 7 lean cows lesson of Genesis 41! "The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years; the dreams are one. And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine. ... Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt; but after them seven years of famine will arise ... let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, <em>and store up</em> ... that the land may not perish"Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.com
