Proverbs 23

ZECHARIAH 4:1-5:11 | REVELATION 14:1-20 | PSALM 142:1-7 | PROVERBS 30:21-23

As Christmas draws near, many of us feel the pressure to buy just one more thing—or worry the season won't feel special unless we spend more. Tight deadlines, emotional expectations, and last-minute sales create the perfect environment for impulse spending to quietly take over. But Scripture offers a wiser, more freeing way to approach giving—one rooted in love rather than pressure.Christmas brings out many good desires. We want our homes to feel warm, our families to feel loved, and our gatherings to feel joyful. Emotional spending happens when those good desires turn into pressure—internal or external. We begin asking questions like: What if this isn't enough? What will they think if I don't give something big? If I don't hurry, will Christmas feel incomplete?Emotional buying often peaks in the final days before Christmas, not because we're unwise, but because we're human. We feel the weight of expectations, the excitement of the season, and the fear of missing out. But perfect moments aren't purchased. They're created through meaningful time together—not merely expensive gifts.A Biblical Rhythm for GivingScripture invites us into a different rhythm. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” He wasn't describing frantic shopping or panic-driven generosity, but joyful, intentional, heart-shaped giving.Paul echoes this in Colossians 3:2: “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Christmas giving becomes a spiritual act when it flows from love, gratitude, and thoughtfulness rather than pressure or panic.Many of the most meaningful gifts can't be boxed or wrapped—a handwritten letter, a shared meal, a family tradition, a long walk with an aging parent, or a prayer spoken over someone you love. These are gifts that shape hearts, not clutter closets.In the final days before Christmas, urgency often speaks louder than wisdom. The sale is ending. Shelves are empty. Shipping won't arrive on time. Suddenly, our giving comes more from fear than love.Proverbs 21:5 offers a timely warning: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” Hasty choices don't just strain our finances—they strain our hearts. They rob us of peace and shift our focus from Christ to consumption.You don't have to sprint your way into Christmas. You can choose a different pace.Four Practical Ways to Avoid Emotional Buying1. Pause before you purchase. Even a 30-second pause can interrupt an emotional decision. Ask yourself: Is this coming from love—or from pressure?2. Let your values set the tone. A healthy budget isn't restrictive—it's clarifying. It helps your spending reflect what matters most.3. Remember, generosity is more than money. Time, words, service, and presence are gifts money can't replicate.4. Let Christ—not culture—define Christmas. Before you buy, ask: Will this help us celebrate Jesus, or simply ease a momentary fear?When your giving aligns with faith rather than fear, Christmas becomes more meaningful—not less.The Freedom of Love-Led GivingMother Teresa captured this beautifully: “It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.” You're not responsible for funding a flawless Christmas. You're responsible for loving the people God has placed in your life—and love doesn't require overspending.Christmas isn't a test of your financial ability. It's a celebration of God's generosity toward us. The angel didn't announce “great deals of consumer joy,” but “good news of great joy—a Savior has been born to you.” That's the center of Christmas, and the foundation of intentional giving.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 57 and have about $300,000 in a 401(k). I owe $133,000 on my mortgage and am considering using retirement funds to pay it off. My employer mentioned rolling over just enough to cover the mortgage into a pension plan. Is that possible, and what should I consider before proceeding?You previously shared a list of scholarships. I have a daughter who's a high school freshman and may attend Liberty University. Do you still have that scholarship list? How can we start preparing now?I'm 74, retired, and have about $25,000 in an IRA. I want to invest some in gold, but I also owe $13,000 on a high-interest credit card from home repairs. Is there a way to negotiate that debt for a lump-sum payoff? And since I live on a pension and Social Security and haven't filed taxes in four years, do I still need to pay taxes?I taught vocational trades in the Texas prison system and was told that ex-felons can't get a job until seven years after probation.

Today is day 357 and we are studying the Section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing. 357. Is it possible for you to keep these commandments? No. I fail to keep them perfectly, however hard I try. They show me my inability to obey God's Law and my need for God's grace in Christ Jesus. (1 Kings 8:46; Psalms 53:2–3; 130:3; Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:9–20; 1 John 1:8, 10) 358. Since you cannot perfectly keep God's Law, what has Jesus done on your behalf? As the perfect human and unblemished Lamb of God, Jesus lived a wholly obedient and sinless life. He suffered death for my redemption upon the Cross, offering himself once for all as a “full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world.” (“Holy Communion, Anglican Standard Text,” Book of Common Prayer 2019; see also Isaiah 53:4–6; Mark 10:45; John 1:29; Romans 8:3–4; Colossians 2:13–15; Hebrews 10:10–14) Our prayers today are Proper 17 found on page 619 and The Pascha Nostrum on page 16 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

When God gives you a calling, He is not putting pressure on you to achieve it all within a certain time frame. He has given you your entire life to fulfill your calling. If you feel pressure, that pressure is coming from Satan, not God. Therefore, don't condemn yourself for not having achieved more by some artificial due date. Instead, enjoy the journey, and achieve your calling free from time considerations. Take a listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.

Proverbs 6 teaches powerful biblical wisdom about identity, discipline, diligence, and the importance of being yourself in a distracted world. In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we explore Proverbs 6 through the simple but profound life lesson: “Just be yourself” — or as my mama used to say, “Just be Kelly.”At first, those words sounded generic, even silly. Teachers said it. Parents said it. I even caught myself saying it to my daughter—until she hit me with, “Duh… everyone else is already taken.” And just like that, wisdom knocked.Proverbs 6 reveals that being yourself isn't accidental—it's built. It's formed slowly, deliberately, and powerfully through diligence, focus, and a calm mind. When your heart is full of love and your life is aligned, being yourself creates confidence, vision, discernment, and the ability to see trouble before it arrives.This chapter also warns us about distractions—often disguised as opportunity or fear of missing out. Proverbs 6 reminds us that staying in our lane, working our land, and not being consumed by comparison is protection, not limitation.What my mama delivered in a simple sentence turned out to be a graduate-level blueprint for life. It took time—and wisdom—for the depth of her words to fully unlock. Most of the challenges I face today can be traced back to moments where I ignored that wisdom.So today, Mama… I hear you loud and clear.Just be Kelly.Mic officially dropped.

This chapter highlights the importance of using our words in a truthful and helpful way.

Tom Lawrence always knew his calling had to do with money. Growing up in Southeast London, England, Tom convinced his parents to help him get work experience in hedge funds and investment banks at the young age of twelve. But a few years into his teens, Tom had an amazing encounter with Jesus which turned his whole perspective on life upside down. His passion for money remained, but instead of feathering his own nest, Tom began to see money in the light of funding for the Kingdom.   As an adult, Tom spent about ten years as a wealth manager for private banks and wealth management organizations and his views on Kingdom finances grew and matured with him. Suddenly, Tom found himself without a job, and he soon realized that this was an opportunity to know God as Jehovah Jireh, his Provider. During this time, Tom began an intensive study of what the Bible really says about money. That journey reshaped everything—how he understands ownership, stewardship, and the call the pursue true riches.    Out of that 200 hours of Bible study, Tom founded the Biblical Financial Masterclass, a 12+ hour course that helps Christians build their financial house using God's blueprint from Scripture. Now, Tom equips Believers, churches, and organizations to heal their relationships with money and to rethink their financial lives from the heart outward, grounding principles in Scripture and pointing people towards Gospel transformation. Tune in for a fantastic dive into how God's Word radically reshapes our relationship with money.   Major Topics Include: Three dimensions of money and faith Biblical financial insights from 200 hours of study Commonly misunderstood money scriptures Developing his course Equipping to handle what God wants to give you Getting your heart right in relationship with money The Christian motivation for generosity  What is “serving Mammon?” Peeling back the layers of Mammon in our lives The truth about extravagance in giving Challenges in engaging the local church in financial conversation QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I was just as passionate about money after I got saved and it gave me a reason why I should be rather than just feathering my nest, which was my main ambition at 13 or 14. Between 15 and 17, I began to see it as an opportunity to fund the Kingdom.” “One of the greatest things that we can do is handle money that's not ours, in line with Somebody Else's will, for Somebody Else's glory in order that it would be redeemed and bring about salvation in people's lives.” “More than 10% of the entire Bible is given over to talking about money, finances, wealth, and stuff in some form of another. And about 1 in 6 of Jesus's parables touches on it.” “Do not assume you are outside of God's will just because you're going through something difficult.” “Fundamentally, the entirety of the Bible is a display of generosity. It's a love letter to humanity from God.” “How much money is too much money? It's any amount that replaces our trust in God.” “Cheerful giving comes down to heart preparation.” “When we avoid talking about money, we are not sparing our congregations awkwardness, we are leaving a gaping hole in their discipleship.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Biblical Financial Masterclass Stewardship (UK Ministry) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Luke 16:1-13 | The Parable of the Dishonest Manager   Haggai 2: 6-7 | The Coming Glory of the Temple   For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.

Finally, as we wrap up Colossians, Fr. Mike highlights St. Paul's call to uphold the obligations we have to others in society, in our family, and in our work. Today we read 1 Peter 1-2, Colossians 3-4, and Proverbs 30:10-14. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
