You may be wondering that very question. There are many ways to do it, but it’s important that you donate your time or money to a reputable source. For a few related ideas, see today’s post (and the associated comments) from the Southern Hills Church of Christ blog.

Used by permission from ChristianPF.com I am not much of a supporter of new year resolutions, I don’t like waiting around for a specific date to make positive life changes. That said, I guess some people don’t really think about making positive life changes until the new year rolls around. Out of curiosity, I did [...]

Sometimes, I read something in the Bible that, on first thought, doesn’t seem to make much sense. Has that ever happened to you? Well, when that happens, it is time to look deeper into the passage and to meditate upon what it is saying, because the Bible is not a book of confusion. Take the [...]

That’s the title of a book I started reading over the weekend. It’s actually a fairly short book, but with other things stealing my time, it’s taken me a while to finish it. Part fiction, part nonfiction, it’s taken a good bit from the experiences of the author, who lost both parents as a teenager [...]

A post yesterday on the Christian PF blog got me thinking about a fairly common practice. Let me ask you this: When someone offers to do something nice for you or to give you something, what’s your first response? If you’re out to dinner with a friend, and she picks up the check, do you [...]

My long-time friend Jim Martin is pulpit minister for a congregation in Waco, and maintains a blog I highly recommend: A Place For The God-Hungry. His post from Tuesday (2/4/09) was a pretty insightful look at how we spend our time, and the things we should really be making time for. I repeat that post [...]

There’s a post by that name over at the ChristianPF blog that I’d like to point you to: http://www.christianpf.com/about-the-lives-of-millionaires/. I agree with all of Bob’s points in that article, but I’d go one step farther and disagree with point #9 on the list. I suspect he disagreed with it too; he just didn’t say so.

I’ve pointed you to the Christian PF blog before (PF = personal finance). Today they start a 7-part series about getting out of debt. The introductory post was Saturday, so here are the links to the first 2 posts in the series. After that, you’re on your own. (There’s a free subscription option available.) Introduction [...]

I don’t think it’s possible to be ambivalent on the subject of debt. You see it either as a necessary evil, or as an evil period. What does Scripture say about a child of God and debt? Once again, I’d like to point you to an article on the Christian personal finance blog, Christianpf.com. Bob [...]

Much is said in print and in newscasts about the environment. Drilling for oil in Alaska, global warming, destruction of jungles (aka “rain forests”), commandeering nearly a million acres of land because of a tiny endangered bird — all of these are hot-button issues, and more so in an election year. Should Christians be standard-bearers [...]
