Old Testament    New Testament

Freedom

As stewards we must integrate the four biblical principles:

•  U     God owns it all

•    We are in the growth process

•    Amount is not important, utilization is

•    Faith requires action

Setting Goals

 We must recognize that:

¨      All of us have limited resources

¨      There are always more uses of money available than money available

¨      A dollar spent today is gone – and can never be used in the future for anything else.  In other words, today’s decisions determines tomorrow’s consequences.

¨      The longer the term of perspective, the better decision making.

There are four vital reasons for goals:

¨      Goals provide direction and purpose

¨      Goals help to focus on thinking

¨      Goals provide personal motivation

¨      Goals become a statement of God’s Will for our lives

  There are barriers to goal setting:

¨      We fear failure; the irony about this is that we accept our failure to govern our lives toward heaven.

¨      We assume falsely, that it takes too much time.
