“You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name.” (Exodus 20:7 NLT) God’s name is important to Him. There is power in His name. Anyone who tries to diminish that power by taking it lightly or using it in a way that dishonors Him is breaking the third commandment. One way people misuse the name of the Lord is by swearing by it. As in, “I swear to God, I’m telling you the truth.” People who swear to God often do so because their own word—their own name—isn’t reliable. They’re known to make commitments they don’t keep or to say things that aren’t true. This misuse comes into sharp focus in a marriage ceremony. If we commit ourselves to our spouses with vows that invoke God’s name, we must honor those vows. If we bail on the relationship we vowed to uphold, we’re misusing God’s name. Another way we misuse the Lord’s name is by saying, “Oh, my God” or “Oh, God.” When we drop those words into casual conversation—or any conversation—we’re treating God’s name like any other exclamation. We’re ignoring the importance God places on His name and using it simply as a thoughtless sentence filler. We’re not actually calling for Him. We’re not praying to or worshiping Him. We’re simply borrowing His name for our own conversational purposes. Some people misuse God’s name by leveraging it for personal gain. They market themselves as Christian business owners, or Christian salespeople, or Christian service providers, hoping to attract Christians as clients. They wear their faith on their sleeve to set themselves apart in the marketplace. That’s a misuse of God’s name and His work in our lives. And that brings us to what I believe is the worst way of misusing the name of the Lord: hypocrisy. If you claim to be a follower of God, if you call His Son Savior and Lord, people can and should expect to see Christ in you. In the way you talk. In the decisions you make. In the priorities you demonstrate. In the way you interact with others. In your business dealings. In the way you treat your enemies. If they don’t see Christ in you, if instead they see someone very much like the unbelievers they know, they will rightly question your faith. They will double down on their doubts. They will lean harder into their cynicism. Christian hypocrisy creates a huge stumbling block for unbelievers. It makes them question the power of God to change lives. If you claim God as your heavenly Father with your words but deny Him with your actions, you are misusing His name. Honor the name of the Lord—not just with the things you say, but also with the way you live. Reflection question: What’s the biggest challenge for you when it comes to not misusing the name of the Lord?

Some people think being rich means owning a lot of things—when in reality, being “rich” often means a lot of things owning you. The signs of wealth are all around us: luxury cars, upscale neighborhoods, designer clothes, vacation homes. But do possessions really make people rich in a way that matters?It's hard to keep a Christ-centered perspective on wealth when our culture constantly pressures us to want more, buy more, and accumulate more. But this isn't a new problem. Jesus warned in Luke 12:15:“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”Money and possessions aren't inherently bad, but they often tempt us toward greed, selfishness, and discontent. We need money to live, but when money becomes the main thing, it becomes a dangerous master.When Possessions Begin to Possess YouJesus doesn't just warn against greed—He offers us the key to true life: don't make your existence all about “the abundance of possessions,” or your possessions will start to possess you. Proverbs 23:4–5 echoes this wisdom:“Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone…”Material things can never give your heart what it truly craves.In Luke 12, Jesus tells the story of a wealthy man who tears down his barns to build bigger ones, dreaming of a long, comfortable retirement. But before he can enjoy it, God says:“You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?”Jesus concludes, “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”The man's tragedy wasn't just that his life ended suddenly—it was that he invested his soul in temporary abundance instead of eternal riches.Eternity Written on Our HeartsEcclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that God has “set eternity in the human heart.” Deep down, we long for meaning, purpose, and eternal life—not just more stuff. C. S. Lewis put it well:“Aim at Heaven and you will get Earth ‘thrown in': aim at Earth and you get neither.”True abundance is found in knowing God, walking with Him, and letting His love overflow into the way we love others.Jesus said in John 10:10, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” And in John 15:5, He promised, “Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.”The abundant life isn't about bigger barns or fuller closets—it's about abiding in Christ. When we do, our lives bear fruit that blesses others and glorifies God.Where Is Your Treasure?So ask yourself: What are you depending on to give your life meaning? Could some of those things be quietly taking God's place in your heart?Pray for the Lord to uproot those desires and refocus your attention on Him. Because true wealth isn't found in what you own—it's found in who owns you.That's why we created Rich Toward God—a 4-week study on the Parable of the Rich Fool.

They face ongoing money struggles and sometimes ask us for assistance, but I'm concerned that giving could be enabling poor decisions, like spending on things that don't reflect our values. How can we approach this situation with wisdom and biblical discernment?I already have a financial advisor and some investments in place, but I want to make sure my money is supporting companies that align with my faith. Is there a tool or resource that can help me evaluate whether my investments are consistent with biblical values?I have a will, and all my investments already list beneficiaries. My advisor says a trust isn't necessary, but my children believe it's the best way to avoid probate. Do I really need a trust? Also, since my husband passed away, should I update my will and the deed to my home?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)List of Faith-Based Investment FundsWise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D.Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

It's easy to forget how something as simple as a pair of shoes can change a life. But for vulnerable children around the world, shoes mean protection, dignity, and the chance to dream.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is meeting this need with the love of Christ. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share the incredible impact that is being made all around the world, one pair of shoes at a time.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Heart of Buckner InternationalFounded in Dallas, Texas, Buckner International has been serving vulnerable children, families, and seniors for more than 146 years. Their mission is clear: to follow the example of Jesus by serving the most vulnerable in every phase of life. From foster care and adoption to family-strengthening programs and senior care, Buckner demonstrates Christ's love in tangible ways.The Shoes for Orphan Souls initiative began 25 years ago in Dallas as a small effort to provide children in orphanages with something they lacked: their own pair of shoes. Many had to borrow communal shoes from a basket just to attend school.Since then, the ministry has distributed more than 5 million pairs of shoes in 86 countries. These shoes do more than protect feet—they open doors to health, education, dignity, and the hope of Christ.Why Shoes MatterA new pair of shoes provides more than comfort:Health Protection – In many regions, shoes prevent devastating illnesses like hookworm or podoconiosis.Access to Education – In many countries, schools require shoes as part of their uniform, making footwear a key factor in attending class.Economic Stability – Protecting children from illness reduces financial strain on families already in vulnerable situations.Hope and Dignity – Every pair is delivered with prayer, encouragement, and the gospel, often through partnerships with local churches.Stories of TransformationShawn shared two moving stories that reveal the ministry's impact:Romina in Mexico – A seven-year-old girl was overwhelmed with tears when she realized someone cared enough to give her a pair of shoes. That moment reminded Sean why this work matters—it's a tangible expression of Christ's love. Dulce in Guatemala – An eight-year-old girl received pink-and-white shoes so she could attend school. That simple gift opened the door for her family to receive housing, literacy training for her mother, and ultimately, salvation and discipleship for her father.A small act of generosity became the seed of a transformed family story.Your Opportunity to GiveThis month, we're partnering with Buckner to put shoes on the feet of 1,000 children worldwide. Each pair represents health, education, dignity, and an opportunity for children and families to hear the gospel.$15 provides a pair of shoes.$150 provides shoes for 10 children.You can be part of this life-changing work by visiting GiveShoesToday.org. Together, we can share the love of Christ one pair of shoes at a time.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm retiring and turning 65 in February. Right now, I'm covered by my employer's health insurance, but I'm running into issues with prescription coverage. Should I sign up for Medicare now, keep my employer insurance as primary, and then wait until my younger wife becomes eligible for Medicare?I've managed to pay off all my credit card debt, but now my mortgage company has started foreclosure proceedings. They're demanding $2,160, and I'm not sure how to handle it. The FDIC says they shouldn't be taking this action, but I haven't received any formal notification yet.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Buckner Shoes for Orphan SoulsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Before construction can begin, there must be a “groundbreaking,” an act of bitul (self-nullification) showing that the success comes not from “my strength and the power of my hand,” but from Hashem. This relates to revi'i of parashas Ki Savo which states, “You shall build there an altar to Hashem your G-d...and offer up ascent-offerings on it...And you shall slaughter peace-offerings...”: Every person must use his possessions to build an “altar” for Hashem, meaning a place designated for him to offer his “fat and blood” to Hashem, in one of two ways: the ascent-offering, corresponding to the service of tefillah, and the peace-offering, from which “a portion goes to the owner,” meaning one's conduct in worldly matters “brings peace” between man and Hashem and foster love and unity between Jews etc.Excerpt from sichah of Tuesday, parashas Ki Savo, 17 Elul 5748 – at the groundbreaking of the expansion of 770.

Businessman and author T. Harv Eker once wrote, “Financial freedom is the ability to live the lifestyle you desire without having to work or rely on anyone else for money.”It's tempting to think that financial independence is the ultimate goal of life—but what does the Bible say? God's Word points us toward a far better kind of freedom.In recent years, financial independence has become a cultural ideal. People long to be self-sufficient, debt-free, and free to pursue their passions. While these desires can be wise, they also carry a subtle danger: believing we don't need anyone—including God.The Warning of the Rich FoolThis temptation isn't new. In Luke 12, Jesus told a parable about a wealthy man who thought he had “made it”:“I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘You have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, and be merry.'”But God's response was sobering:“Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?”The man's sin wasn't wealth itself—it was trusting in wealth instead of God. His independence became his idol. In contrast, Proverbs 30 records a prayer from Agur:“Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?' or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.”Agur understood the heart of stewardship: daily dependence on God. Too little can lead to desperation; too much can lead to pride. The goal isn't independence, but faithful reliance on the Lord.Three Questions to Evaluate Your GoalsAs you think about your own financial journey, consider these questions:Am I placing my trust in money? Retirement savings and emergency funds are wise, but security must come from God, not a balance sheet.Am I trying to eliminate work entirely? Work is part of God's good design. Even in retirement, we're called to meaningful contribution.Am I paying off debt just for myself? Debt-free living is good, but its ultimate purpose is to gain the freedom to serve, give, and advance God's Kingdom.So, is financial independence biblical? It depends.If independence means replacing God with money, then no.If independence means freedom for generosity, stewardship, and dependence on God, then yes—it reflects something greater than wealth: a life rich toward God.Scripture reminds us that “He richly provides us with everything to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17) and that “every good and perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17). But those gifts were never meant to replace the Giver.A Resource for Going DeeperIf you'd like to explore this more, check out our 4-Week study, Rich Toward God. This study walks through Jesus' Parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12, helping you discover what truly drives your financial decisions and how to align your resources with God's Kingdom purposes.You can get your copy—or place a bulk order for your church or small group—by visiting FaithFi.com and clicking the Shop tab.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've had multiple jobs with 401(k) benefits over the years, but I've struggled to stay organized with my finances. How can I get a handle on everything, and would it be wise to work with a financial advisor?My 16-year-old daughter received a $200,000 settlement after being hit by a car. Once she turns 18, she'll gain full access to the money, and I'm very concerned she'll misuse it. What options do I have to protect her from receiving it all at once?I have an adult son with autism who is on the Florida Med Waiver, which limits him to $2,000 in his checking account. I'm worried about how he'll be provided for in the future.

Holy crap, Packers fans - what a way to kick off the season! Green Bay absolutely demolished the Detroit Lions in a statement win that had Lambeau roaring and Lions fans in full meltdown mode. From Micah Parsons terrorizing the line to Jordan Love slinging dimes, this opener felt like a total vibe shift for the Pack. Fan calls flood in with hype over the defense's relentless pressure, including sacks from Wyatt, Gary, Van Ness, and Parsons' chaos despite limited snaps. Evan Williams snags a sick interception, while callers roast NFL taunting penalties as "woke culture BS" ruining the game's edge. Josh Jacobs bulldozes for key runs, and the O-line holds strong even after Zach Tom's injury scare.

Having urged the readers of his first letter to “love one another earnestly from a pure heart,” Peter went on to explain what such brotherly love would entail. Alistair Begg unpacks the apostle's instructions, which clarify that fellowship demands action. In their new life together, Christians must be prepared to feed themselves on God's Word, establish themselves on the foundation of union with Christ, and stand as witnesses to God's goodness and glory before a watching world. Bible passages: 1 Peter 2:1-10
Holy crap, Packers fans - what a way to kick off the season! Green Bay absolutely demolished the Detroit Lions in a statement win that had Lambeau roaring and Lions fans in full meltdown mode. From Micah Parsons terrorizing the line to Jordan Love slinging dimes, this opener felt like a total vibe shift for the Pack. Fan calls flood in with hype over the defense's relentless pressure, including sacks from Wyatt, Gary, Van Ness, and Parsons' chaos despite limited snaps. Evan Williams snags a sick interception, while callers roast NFL taunting penalties as "woke culture BS" ruining the game's edge. Josh Jacobs bulldozes for key runs, and the O-line holds strong even after Zach Tom's injury scare.

Billy Graham once said, “Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related.”In Jesus' Parable of the Talents, we see that stewardship isn't just about money—it's about how we view God. Today, Taylor Standridge joins me to explore how our image of God influences the way we give, spend, and live.Taylor Standridge is the Production Manager here at Faith and Finance, co-author of Look at the Sparrows, our 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety, and a frequent contributor to our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, as well as other FaithFi studies and devotionals.Our View of God Shapes EverythingA.W. Tozer once wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This truth has enormous implications for stewardship. How we see God determines how we handle what He has entrusted to us.If we see Him as generous, trustworthy, and sovereign, we will hold our resources with open hands and joyful hearts, confident that He is both our provider and our treasure. But if we see Him as distant, demanding, or indifferent, we may fall into reluctant giving, fearful hoarding, or selfish spending.Stewardship is far more than budgets and giving—it is about trust, worship, and living in light of who we believe God to be. A distorted view of God is like setting sail with the wrong coordinates: you may move with confidence, but you'll end up in the wrong place.Lessons from the Parable of the TalentsIn Matthew 25, the tragedy of the third servant wasn't his lack of ability—it was his lack of trust. Believing his master to be a “hard man,” he buried what was given to him. His fear led to inaction.This parable isn't only about money. The “talents” represent everything God entrusts to us—time, relationships, opportunities, gifts, and resources. Faithful stewardship flows not from skill, but from trust. The first two servants stepped out boldly because they trusted their master's character. Their faith led to joy, not judgment: “Enter into the joy of your master.”The deeper warning is this: when we misjudge God's heart, we hold back. When we trust His goodness, we invest boldly for His Kingdom.Obedience as God's GiftMany believers think of obedience as something they give to God. But Scripture reminds us that even obedience is a gift of grace. “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose” (Phil. 2:13). He not only prepares good works for us (Eph. 2:10)—He empowers us to walk in them.This truth transforms stewardship from a burden into a blessing. We're not managing resources to prove ourselves; we're participating in the good works God has already prepared. Stewardship becomes a relational act of grace, not a transactional duty.The Sobering Warning—and the Joyful InvitationIn Matthew 7, Jesus warns that some will say, “Lord, Lord,” but hear Him reply, “I never knew you.” The issue wasn't activity—it was relationship. Faithful stewardship begins with knowing God as gracious, faithful, and abundantly generous.If you feel stuck or fearful—like the third servant—remember this: God isn't waiting to punish you. He invites you to trust Him. Start small. Ask Him to reshape your view, to see Him not as a harsh master, but as a loving Father.As 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” When we live from that truth, stewardship becomes delight, not duty. We don't just manage money; we step into joy, walking with the One who is our ultimate treasure.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a retired senior and recently heard about the new $6,000 tax break.
