The subject of finances is mainly either neglected or abused in the church today. There are many believers who are living in financial bondage because they have been taught it is God’s will for His people to be poor. Many proclaim it was God’s will for them to be poor and if they tried to better themselves, they would be going against God’s will for their lives.
This position is untrue and unbiblical, as we will soon see. At the same time there are believers living in bondage because they have been taught prosperity is a sign of faith. Thus, if you do not have an abundance of things then you are not spiritual. Consequently, people live above their means, often by going into debt, trying to keep up the appearance of prosperity. Even though they look prosperous to the outsider, they are in financial bondage. These are the two extremes when dealing with finances.
The truth is in the middle. It is the purpose of this course to bring a balanced Biblical view, leading to Financial Integrity. 3 John 2:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. God is interested in our finances. The Lord is just as interested in our financial prosperity and physical health as He is in our spiritual prosperity.
