Here’s what budgeting can do for you: • Give you feelings of control – Not knowing where your money is going can be bewildering....
In the world we live in, currently we have confusion, fear, doubt, anxiety etc... So where do we look for answers? In Philippians 4, starting in verse 4 the word of GOD says to rejoice in the Lord, I say again rejoice in the Lord. It doesn’t say rejoice in your circumstances; it says rejoice in the Lord. Why? Because GOD is greater than all the woes of the world and rejoicing in him is turning your circumstances over to him to handle, which relieves you of the stress, when you turn those things that are bothering you and find your JOY and P...

Life doesn’t always go as planned. For example, you might think you’ll retire at 65 or later, when you’ll be eligible for Medicare. But if you retire before then, how will you pay for your health care? Without insurance, you risk incurring thousands of dollars of expenses if you are injured or become seriously ill. And if you must pay for these costs out of pocket, you might have to dip into your IRA, 401(k) or other retirement accounts earlier than you had planned – which could result in a less desirable retirement lifestyle than you had env...
Jesus said, “All those who love me will do what I say.” Learning to obey is part of growing up, and it’s also part of our Christian life. Jesus said, “My Father will love them and we will come to them and live with them.” There’s a definite link between love and obedience. You’ve heard the old saying, “You can lead a horse to drink but you can’t make him water.” It’s the same with children – you can force them to do this, that or some other little thing around the house, but the only real way to help a child learn is by loving them and teachin...

As the owner of the plan, you can essentially name any beneficiary you want, and you’re free to change the beneficiary as needed. Contribution limits are quite high, so you can put away c...
