Why Are You Building Wealth?

It's easy to believe that having more money would fix everything—that if we just had enough, life would finally feel secure, peaceful, and even meaningful.From lotteries to luxury ads, our world constantly tells us that more wealth is the goal. But Scripture invites us to ask a better question: not how much money do I have?—but why do I want it in the first place?Money itself isn't the problem. Scripture never condemns wealth. But it does warn us about the heart behind it. The late Larry Burkett, a mentor to many in biblical finance, once said there are seven reasons people pursue wealth—and six of them can lead us astray. Why? Because when money becomes our focus, it often takes the place of God.Before we talk about how to use it, we need to ask: What's driving us to accumulate it?1. ConformitySome pursue wealth simply because everyone else is. Whether from family pressure or cultural expectations, they chase money without asking if it's what God wants.Romans 12:2 reminds us: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” God calls us to live in alignment with His Kingdom—not the world's standards.2. EnvyOthers look at their neighbor's lifestyle and crave the same.Ecclesiastes 4:4 says: “All toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”Envy leaves us restless—always reaching, never resting.3. CompetitionFor some, wealth is a scoreboard. It's not about having enough—it's about having more than others.But when competition drives us, life becomes a race, and people become obstacles. Philippians 2:3 offers a better way: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”Kingdom living doesn't play to win—it plays to serve.4. EgoMany tie wealth to identity. They want to be seen as successful, admired, and important. Even their giving can become a form of self-promotion.Paul redirects us in 1 Timothy 6:17: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth … but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”Wealth isn't a trophy—it's a tool.5. Love of MoneySome simply love money. They obsess over their accounts and fear losing it.1 Timothy 6:10 warns: “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” This isn't about having money—it's about being ruled by it.6. SecurityOthers pursue wealth out of fear. Wealth can create the illusion of safety.Proverbs 18:11 says: “The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.”But that security is imagined. Real peace doesn't come from what we've saved, but from the One who holds us.7. Generosity: The One Good ReasonSo, what's the one God-honoring reason to build wealth? To give it away.Generosity flows from a heart that sees money not as a possession to protect, but as a tool to serve. Jesus summarized this in Matthew 22:37–39: “Love the Lord your God … and love your neighbor as yourself.”Dr. Justo González notes in Teach Us to Pray that when we ask for “our daily bread” in the Lord's Prayer, it's a communal request. If we have more than we need today, it's not accidental—it's providential. What's in your hands may be God's answer to someone else's prayer.St. Augustine put it this way: “Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.”The early church modeled this in Acts 4:34: “There was not a needy person among them.”The Call to StewardshipBuilding wealth isn't about hoarding or raising our net worth. It's about aligning resources with God's purposes and becoming participants in His provision for others.When financial goals are rooted in love for God and neighbor, wealth becomes a ministry—not a measure of success.Let God reshape your reason for building wealth, and discover the joy of using what He's given you to bless others and glorify Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like to understand what a real estate investment trust (REIT) is and how it works, especially in relation to my retirement savings. Do REITs tend to lose value over time?I'm thinking about selling my house and moving into a 55-plus community. Would it make sense to use the equity from my home to pay off my mortgage and credit card debt, thereby simplifying my finances?I'm trying to set up a trust and would like to know what to expect in terms of pricing. Is there a standard fee, or are there other factors I should be considering?My husband recently passed away and left me a significant amount of money. Since he handled all our finances, I'm unsure whether I should invest in annuities or spread the money across various investments. What would you recommend?I received a letter from the IRS about a retirement account in another state that I'd completely forgotten about. I've tried contacting my former employer, but can't locate the account.

The Beach is Calling, So is Your Boss. 海滩正在召唤你,老板也在召唤你。在美国很多沿海的州(especially California and Florida),去海滩是夏天的标配。When the beach is calling, so is your boss. Because instead of chilling all summer, a lot of people are out there working hard to earn some extra cash!chilling all summer: 悠闲度夏earn some extra cash: 赚得额外的收入02. Summer Jobs for American Teens and College Students 美国青少年和大学生的暑期工作Age: In the U.S., people usually get their first job around 15 or 16.Purposes: get paycheck (赚工资)gain experienceenrich the resume (丰富简历) explore potential career paths (探索未来职业方向)Some even start younger with informal jobs, like babysitting (照看小孩) or mowing lawns (修剪草坪).根据美国法律规定:14岁的孩子是被允许开始做部分工作的,当然工作时长会有限制;所以我们不会涉及“雇佣童工”的非法内容(illegal stuff)。Popular Summer Jobs in the U.S. 救生员(Lifeguard):需要培训、CPR 证书( certification)、快速反应能力(quick reflexes)。It sounds easy, but it's actually a serious job. You should make sure nobody drowns (溺水).在不少美国电影或电视剧中,观众经常能看到这样的场景——一个戴着墨镜的救生员(a lifeguard in sunglasses),坐在泳池边的高椅子上,警惕地注视着水面。In the movie Stranger Things (《怪奇物语》), Max's brother Billy is a lifeguard.夏令营辅导员(Camp Counselor):在营地住几周,照顾精力旺盛的(energetic)孩子,组织手工(crafts)、划独木舟(canoeing)、烤棉花糖(marshmallow roasting)等活动,包吃包住(free food and accommodation)并有薪水(camp salary)。That is a rite of passage for a lot of high schoolers (这是很多高中生成长的必经之路), and it teaches a lot of patience (并且它还能培养耐心). 遛狗员(Dog Walker):适合爱狗人士(dog lovers),不仅能免费撸狗(pet dogs),还能将其发展成一份完整的副业(make a whole side hustle out of it)。It is better than a pet cafe (这可比宠物咖好多了).无论在中国还是美国,暑期工作都常见于零售与餐饮业(Retail & Food Service)。Retail & Food Service Staff (零售与餐饮业工作人员)In China: working the register (收银), working as a waiter/waitressIn America: scooping ice cream (舀冰淇淋), flipping burgers (翻汉堡)虽然这些工作在很多人看来不那么光鲜亮丽(glamorous),但它们能磨炼耐心、提升服务意识,并且塑造性格(build one's character)。03. The Two Hosts' First Summer Jobs 两个主播的第一份暑期工作Erin的第一份暑假工作是儿童游泳队教练(swim team coach)。It was an interesting experience, but dealing with parents (与家长打交道) definitely caused her a headache (让她头疼) sometimes. Flora: “After all that parent drama, would you ever coach kids again?”Erin: “Coaching kids is not my Number 1 career choice (教小孩游泳不是我职业规划的第一选择了).” Flora's first job was during a holiday when her roommate hooked her up with a gig selling bottled herbal tea (帮她牵线找到一份卖瓶装凉茶的工作). 虽然薪水挺可观(pretty sweet money),但因为这份工作太耗体力,她干了两天就果断放弃了。That experience helped her figure out (搞清楚) what she doesn't want to do in the future.总而言之,暑假工作不仅仅是为了赚钱,还能帮助积累技能(build skills)、发现感兴趣与不感兴趣的领域,从而辅助未来职业规划(planning future career)。欢迎在评论区告诉我们:你的第一份暑期工作是什么呢?What's your first summer job?

Foundations of Amateur Radio
Using Amateur Bands for other purposes

Foundations of Amateur Radio

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I came across a series of strident posts about the injustice associated with a non-amateur service using the 70cm band. Complete with links to discussions, spectrum plots, angst and even incoherent outrage, all related to the notion that whomever "allowed" this user to transmit on this band was clearly incompetent. Except, that this is probably not the case, or the full story. So, what's going on and why are people incensed? This all started at least six years ago. Since then AST SpaceMobile has deployed seven low Earth orbit satellites and used the 70cm band to communicate with them. Although in the trial phase, there's plans for an additional 243 satellites, and there's at least one other company playing in the same space, Atmos Space Cargo. The outcry from amateurs is around the commercial use of "their" 70cm amateur band. It's an emotional statement, but what is the reality? Before I dig in, let's set some terms. Radio frequencies are globally coordinated because electromagnetism doesn't care about sovereign borders. This coordination is conducted at the United Nations by a body called the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union. Within that body, amateur radio gets a seat at the table from an organisation called the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. For the purposes of the ITU, the world is divided into three, Region 1, or essentially Europe, Russia and Africa, Region 2, the Americas and Greenland, and Region 3, the rest of the world. There's more to it, for example, Antarctica is split across all three, but for the moment, that really doesn't matter. Of interest is that the band plan, the agreements that outline which frequencies are set aside for what service, might be defined differently across each of those three regions. To add complexity, each country can be granted exceptions. I don't know the exact mechanics of how this is achieved, but I can guarantee that there's lots of haggling and foot stomping, diplomatically of course. If you're curious how I come to that observation, just look at the absurd list of exceptions associated with each band plan allocation. Further complexity is added by the fact that not all allocations occupy the same frequency range. For example, in Region 1, the 2m band for Amateurs exists between 144 and 146 MHz, in Region 2 and 3 it's between 144 and 148 MHz. Within an allocation there is the concept of shared and exclusive priorities. These determine who "wins" if two stations with a different service are transmitting on the same frequency. Essentially, a secondary user may not interfere with a primary user and a tertiary user may not interfere with either a secondary or a primary user and so on. A primary user can pretty much do what they want, as long as they stay within the allocation and don't interfere with other primary users. As a result, the order in which services are listed, matters. An exclusive allocation doesn't have to be shared at all. Between regions these service priorities might not be the same. For example, in Region 1 between 430 and 432 MHz is allocated to Amateurs and Radio Location, but in Region 2 and 3 it's between Radio Location and Amateurs. So an amateur using that frequency whilst in Region 1 would be a primary user, but in Region 2 or 3 they wouldn't. As an added wrinkle, for example in Australia, that slice is "primarily for the purposes of defence and national security", even though Radio Location is the primary service and Amateurs the secondary one. As a bonus, amateurs in Australia have access to 420.8 to 421.2 MHz as a secondary service, even though the ITU designates this as Fixed, then Mobile, except Aeronautical Mobile, and then Radio Location. Although amateurs are a secondary service, they come after the Department of Defence who are the primary users for those frequencies in Australia. Between 420 and 430 MHz, and from 440 to 450 MHz in several countries, Australia included, the Amateur Service is explicitly designated as a secondary service even though the band plan doesn't actually show this. If you're confused, you're in good company, since this tapestry of regulation isn't as straightforward as the "70cm band is an amateur band", in fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's not an amateur band at all, except perhaps in Region 1 between 430 and 440 MHz where Amateur is designated as the non-exclusive primary service. Back to the blow up. AST was at one time authorised to use 430 to 440 MHz for trial purposes by a regulator in Region 2, the FCC, the United States Federal Communications Commission. I suspect that at the time, the Blue Walker 1 nano satellite was experimental and the approval made sense. You can argue that whomever initially allowed this made a mistake, but, reality is whatever the regulator says it is, unless someone at the ITU objects. It appears that the FCC has since been attempting to make AST comply, instead with billions of dollars at stake, AST continues to apply for more spectrum, which they apparently originally filed with the ITU through the Papua New Guinea administration. It's unclear if the FCC has since capitulated. There is evidence that the new commercial AST satellites are transmitting outside of their authorisation, euphemistically described as "IARU Uncoordinated". Ask yourself, how is it possible, or even allowable, that a regulator permits use of radio spectrum outside its borders and what penalties and remedies exist? The ground stations using these disputed frequencies are all outside the USA. One of the five ground stations is in my own city, Perth in Western Australia. I haven't noticed any discussion on this topic within my local community, even though this has been brewing for years. It does raise a bigger question. How is the band plan enforced? I mean, the 40m band is pretty much unusable in VK6 between sunset and midnight thanks to the fishing fleet of our northern neighbours, it's been like that for as long as I've been an amateur and I expect no change during my lifetime. How is this satellite fleet operating on the 70cm band any different? That said, I cannot help but wonder, will the originally authorised 50 kHz signal every eight seconds, not for phone calls to space, and only for 24 hours after launch or in the unlikely event of an emergency, for Telemetry, Tracking and Command, actually cause issues, or will it be an opportunity for radio amateurs to learn how to deal with interference? Speaking of interference and considering the allocated services, who is interfering with whom here and what priorities and remedies exist? Recently I talked about promotion, and the lack thereof, across our community. This is an example of promotion, and despite the uproar this week, a very poor example at that. Searching for "AST SpaceMobile", the oldest post I could find was on the German AMSAT, or Amateur Satellite forums back in September 2022 by Peter DB2OS who has been very active on this matter. His original post was in English, but went on to discuss the issue in German. I only found it after specifically looking for the names of the organisation involved. Peter's posts supplied links to many of the documents I consulted. Despite having links to specific pages, I found no search results for "AST SpaceMobile" on the websites for the regulators in the US, UK, Germany or Australia, and none on the ARRL, RSGB or DARC. The WIA produced two glowing news reports around the beginning of 2023 about this wonderful new mobile phone service. No mention of the 70cm band. The only active discussions appear to be the German and UK AMSAT forums, that and all the glowing investor posts. In other words. This is the equivalent of publishing the information at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri, 50 years before the event and hoping for a good outcome. As a potential path forward, in January 2023 the German regulator forced AST to shut off 70cm operations whilst it was within radio visibility of Germany. I don't know if that's still in effect, or how and if it's being enforced. It appears that AST has been lobbying for the use of this spectrum for a long time, not just the 340 page submission made last month. For example, NASA made its first response to this satellite constellation in October 2020. It appears that the WIA responded four years later, but I have yet to see it, and this week the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs, the ARRL, and RSGB added theirs. The IARU issued a statement this week too. The fact that we're still arguing about it over half a decade later is a good indication that how we're responding as a global community is clearly ineffectual. Perhaps that is what we should be arguing stridently about. So, where do you stand on this? Should something be done about this, and if-so, what, and more importantly, how? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Daily Study: With God, all people are created equal and have the same value. However, society does not think this way. Society has evolved to esteem some physical characteristics and social standings as more valuable than others. For example, if you're the right color, the right height, or the right gender, then you may have an advantage over somebody who's doesn't have one of those characteristics or features. This isn't fair; however, God can use a social privilege for his purposes. So if you have a privilege, don't automatically push it away; instead, allow God to use it.  Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com

In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver engages with Dr. David Allen Black to discuss the synoptic gospels, the synoptic problem, and the historical origins of the gospels. They explore the significance of external evidence, the role of the Church Fathers, and the implications of Markan priority. Dr. Black presents his fourfold gospel hypothesis, emphasizing the need for historical context in understanding the development of the gospels. The conversation also addresses common concerns regarding the reliability of the gospels and the importance of examining evidence critically.This video explores the **two source hypothesis** related to the origins of the Gospels in the Bible. The speaker explains how understanding this theory can impact the way people interpret biblical texts, and how it is related to the **synoptic problem**.-The term 'synoptic' means to view the gospels together.-The synoptic problem may not be a problem at all. -External evidence is often overlooked in gospel studies.-Markan priority is a dominant theory, but has its challenges. -The early church unanimously believed Matthew was the first gospel.-Historical context is crucial for understanding the gospels.-The Church Fathers provide valuable insights into gospel authorship.-The Q hypothesis is speculative and lacks concrete evidence.-The Christian faith is rooted in historical evidence.-Scholars should be approached with caution; personal investigation is essential.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest01:31 Understanding the Synoptic Gospels04:59 Exploring the Synoptic Problem05:19 Three Lines of Evidence for Gospel Order 08:32 Questioning Markan Priority10:39 Historical Context of Gospel Development17:50 The Role of Early Church Fathers24:11 The Fourfold Gospel Hypothesis28:08 Unity in the Early Church 29:09 Historical Context of the Gospels30:32 Occasional Nature of New Testament Letters31:58 The Role of the Gospels in Addressing Needs33:13 Critique of Markan Priority35:30 Historical Perspectives on Gospel Origins 36:57 The Importance of Church History39:24 The Enlightenment's Impact on Gospel Scholarship41:09 The Interconnectedness of Biblical Studies43:26 The Role of Language in Understanding the Gospels45:56 Different Styles and Purposes of Gospel Writers52:13 Addressing Lay Concerns about Gospel Reliability
