In this message, preaching minister Matthew Dowling explores James's powerful teaching on seeking and receiving God's wisdom. Through the compelling illustration of a traveler in the desert, we learn how God generously gives wisdom to those who ask in faith. This sermon unpacks three key principles from James 1:5-8: God's generous provision of wisdom, the necessity of unwavering faith, and the stability that comes through steadfast trust in God. Whether facing major life decisions or daily challenges, discover how to access and walk in God's wisdom. WEEKLY DEVOTIONALS: Monday - The God Who Gives Generously Reading: James 1:5 Today's divine wisdom promises that God gives "generously to all without reproach." Unlike human sources that might tire of our requests, God delights in giving wisdom to His children. Consider areas in your life where you need wisdom today. How does knowing God's generous nature change your approach to asking Him for guidance? Prayer Focus: Thank God for His generous nature and bring before Him your need for wisdom. Tuesday - The Nature of True Wisdom Reading: James 3:17 The wisdom God provides is "first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." Compare this description with worldly wisdom. How does God's wisdom differ from human intelligence or cleverness? Which characteristics of divine wisdom do you most need in your current circumstances? Prayer Focus: Ask God to develop these characteristics of divine wisdom in your life. Wednesday - Faith That Doesn't Waver Reading: James 1:6-7 James uses the powerful image of waves tossed by the wind to describe doubting faith. Think about times when you've wavered between trusting God and relying on your own understanding. What caused the wavering? How can remembering God's faithfulness in the past strengthen your faith today? Prayer Focus: Confess any areas of doubt and ask for strengthened faith. Thursday - The Danger of Double-Mindedness Reading: James 1:8 The double-minded person tries to live in two worlds—claiming to trust God while clinging to worldly wisdom. Examine your own decision-making process. Are there areas where you're trying to serve two masters? How can you align your choices more fully with God's wisdom? Prayer Focus: Ask God to reveal any areas of double-mindedness in your life. Friday - Standing Firm in God's Wisdom Reading: Ephesians 4:14-15 Paul encourages believers to mature beyond being "tossed to and fro by the waves." This maturity comes through grounding ourselves in God's Word, maintaining consistent prayer, and learning through life's tests. What spiritual disciplines help you stand firm in God's wisdom? How can you strengthen these practices? Prayer Focus: Thank God for His work in maturing your faith and ask for continued growth in wisdom.

And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

The Fed is scheduled to meet next week. Will it lower interest rates again? With one rate cut already on the books and perhaps two more coming before the end of the year…folks are wondering what effect all this will have on mortgages and home sales. Dale Vermillion joins us today to talk about it.Dale Vermillion is the author of Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home. This book covers everything you need to know about securing a mortgage—all from a biblical perspective.Current Mortgage Rate TrendsWith recent shifts in the economy, many are wondering about mortgage rates and how decisions from the Federal Reserve impact them. While the Fed recently lowered interest rates by half a percent, the market already anticipated this move. Mortgage rates dropped nearly a full percent before the Fed's decision, but they've since started to climb back up. Currently, the national average for mortgage rates sits between 6.30% and 6.40%, and experts predict that they will remain in the low to mid-6% range for the rest of the year.For those hoping rates drop below 5%, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. Leading analysts say we likely won't see those numbers until 2025 or later.Despite the changes in interest rates, home sales have remained relatively flat. While there has been a slight increase in home purchases, with mortgage locks up by 8% from last year, the real activity may come from new construction. Existing homeowners are holding on to their properties due to the so-called "rate lock effect," where people are reluctant to sell because they have locked in low mortgage rates. However, once rates drop, we'll most likely see a surge in home sales around 2025 and 2026.Should You Buy or Refinance Now?For those trying to decide whether to buy a home or refinance, there are pros and cons in every market, but several factors are working in favor of buyers right now:Lower Rates: While mortgage rates aren't at historic lows, they are lower than they've been in recent years.Less Competition: With fewer buyers in the market, now is an opportune time to find a home without the fierce competition of a booming market.If you're renting, it may be a good time to buy as long as you can afford the monthly payments. Buying a home builds equity and provides tax benefits, making it a financially sound decision for many.When it comes to refinancing, do not refinance if it means extending the term of your mortgage. Extending your loan term will wipe out any savings you gain from a lower rate, costing you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run. Only refinance if you can lower your payment while keeping or shortening your mortgage term.Seeking Wisdom in Home FinancingBiblical principles should guide all of our financial decisions, including home financing. Romans 13:8 tells us, "Owe no one anything except to love each other." This verse reminds us that as stewards of God's resources, we should aim to live debt-free and manage our finances responsibly.Navigating the mortgage market can be challenging, but by staying informed and grounded in biblical principles, you can make wise decisions that honor God and secure your financial future. Whether buying your first home or considering a refinance, start with a budget and avoid taking on unnecessary debt. Always ensure your financial decisions align with God's Word and your long-term financial goals.For more insights on mortgage financing and faith-based financial wisdom, you can explore Dale's book, Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home, and continue to seek guidance on making informed, biblically sound decisions in your financial life.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I need to change investment companies from Vanguard, as they are becoming more digital-focused. I'm looking for a company that offers a directed beneficiary program where I can designate beneficiaries per account and a simple process for Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) where I can call and request a check be sent directly to the charity.I have existing investments and a financial advisor. I heard you discuss investing in companies aligned with biblical values. Can you provide a resource or recommendation for identifying companies or funds that match those values if I still need to be invested in them?I have two insurance policies, and they are burial policies for my wife and I. They're about $200 between the two monthly and $25,000 each. I'm questioning whether I would be better off just adding that money to my investments or keeping my insurance. I'm 63, my wife is 65, and we're in pretty good health, but I hope we have quite a few more years before that would be necessary.We're at the point in our lives where we need to downsize, so I was wondering if we need to tithe on our sale before investing in another primary residence when we sell our primary home and purchase another one.Resources Mentioned:Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home by Dale VermillionList of Faith-Based Investment FundsLook 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.

Imagine this. At a garage sale, you wipe the dust off an old genie lamp. Smoke pours out, then poof! A genie stands in front of you. He says, “You freed me from the bottle—I grant you one wish.”You're thrilled, but what will you ask for? A work promotion? A sports car? Tickets to the Superbowl? In 1 Kings chapter 3, King Solomon asked the Lord for wisdom and discernment. And God granted his desire.As a parent, make sure you also prioritize wisdom. You can do this by taking a few minutes each day to read a chapter of Proverbs with your son. Not only will you grow together in wisdom, but your son will see that the true source of all knowledge comes from God alone.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

We must devote ourselves to receiving God's wisdom as His own provision of Himself

Owning rental property is like ordering a pizza with anchovies. It's not for everybody.There's no question that renting a property can be a lucrative investment, but it's certainly not a passive investment like owning stock.Owning rental property is attractive for many, but it's not a perfect fit for everyone. Just like not everyone enjoys anchovies, not everyone has the temperament or resources to be a landlord. Before diving into property management, it's essential to understand the benefits and challenges of it. Let's explore these aspects to help you decide if being a landlord is right for you.The Pros of Owning Rental Property1. Income StreamThe primary allure of owning rental property is the potential for rental income. If managed well, a rental property can provide a steady cash flow. However, if you have a mortgage on the property, it's crucial that your rental income covers your mortgage payments and other expenses to avoid a negative cash flow.2. Property AppreciationReal estate typically appreciates over time, meaning your rental property will likely increase in value. This can result in a substantial profit when you decide to sell. However, it's important to remember that capital gains taxes may apply to this profit.3. Tax BenefitsThe IRS offers several tax deductions for rental property owners. You can deduct expenses such as insurance, mortgage interest, and maintenance costs. Additionally, you can claim depreciation, though this will lower your cost basis and may increase capital gains taxes when you sell the property.4. Personal Use of PropertyIf you own a rental property in a desirable location, like a beach house, you can use it for personal vacations up to 14 days a year (or 10% of the days you rent it out) and still deduct your expenses.5. Renting Out Part of Your HomeYou don't necessarily need to own a separate rental property. Renting out a portion of your own home, like a garage or basement, allows you to earn rental income and deduct a portion of your mortgage interest and other related expenses.The Cons of Being a Landlord1. High Initial CostsIf you don't already own a property, buying one to rent can require a significant upfront investment. This often means taking on a mortgage, which you'll need to cover through rental income. Ensuring that your rental income exceeds your expenses is crucial.2. Lack of LiquidityUnlike money in a checking account, which is highly liquid, funds tied up in real estate are not easily accessible. Selling a property takes time and may not always be an option when you need quick cash.3. Uncontrollable CostsOwning property means dealing with ongoing expenses like taxes and insurance, which can increase over time. Additionally, external factors, such as a decline in the neighborhood, can make it harder to rent out your property or affect its value.4. Tenant ChallengesTenants can be unpredictable. Some may pay rent late or cause damage to the property beyond what a security deposit covers. Even with good tenants, there's always the need to keep the property in good repair, which can involve unexpected maintenance calls at inconvenient times.5. The Reality of Being a LandlordManaging a rental property requires time, effort, and a firm hand. Being a landlord can be challenging, from finding and vetting tenants to handling late payments or evictions. If these responsibilities sound overwhelming to you, consider hiring a property management company, which typically takes about 10% of your rental income.Seeking Wisdom in Your DecisionDeciding whether to become a landlord is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. It's important not to make this decision alone. Involve God in your decision-making process. James 1:5 encourages us: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” Seek His guidance in prayer as you contemplate this big step, and trust that He will lead you on the right path.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I received an email from AT&T about a data breach that exposed my personal information. They offered free credit monitoring, but I'm concerned the email may not be genuine. How can I determine if the email is legitimate?I have a question about the guaranteed rates, whether it's high-interest savings or short-term CDs versus a mortgage rate that I locked in back in 2021, which is around 2%. With no additional debt, how do you feel about the balance of making more on my savings versus paying down my low-interest mortgage?Right now, during open enrollment at my work, they offer two insurance plan options—a standard PPO plan and a high-deductible HSA-eligible one. Interestingly, they are paying the full premium for both plans, so I have no difference in the premium cost. Which plan would be best for me to enroll in: the standard PPO or the high-deductible HSA plan?My mother-in-law passed away at the end of December, and upon her death, the house transferred into my husband's and his sister's names. The house was recently sold for $180,000, but $100,000 needed to go to pay her bills associated with the house, like the home equity and mortgage. The remaining money, around $40,000, was split between the two siblings. Is that $40,000 we each received considered a capital gain, or what would that be classified as?Resources Mentioned:AT&T Data Breach InformationRich 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.

Immerse your heart into a terrific conversation with our good friend Josh as we peel back layers of emotional and relational inhibitors. Dive with us into a profound discussion on the long-term effects of father wounds, the significance of intentional vulnerability, and the potential that lies within our God-given mechanisms for personal growth and deeper discipleship. What’s the harmony between current scientific research and our faith in Jesus? How does the power of the Holy Spirit transform our thinking? We tackle the tough topics head-on, addressing the sensitive issue of pornography and its impact on relationships. With Josh's expertise, we examine the neurological dependencies it can create, comparative to substance abuse. We discuss strategies for confronting and healing from its effects by addressing underlying issues. The battle scars of life often linger beneath the surface, manifesting in ways that can challenge our relationships and personal well-being. As Josh and I candidly discuss the shadows cast by father wounds and the distortions created by pornography, we reveal a path forward—one punctuated by faith in Christ, vulnerability, intentional living, and the pursuit of deep, meaningful friendships. Together, we navigate the delicate pathways of neuroplasticity, uncovering how our past, our pain, and our potential for healing are influenced by both our neurological makeup and our faith. This is about navigating life with grace, power and compassion. We discover it’s not just about us, but how we help others in the journey of life.
