Don’t get your THINGDOM confused with my KINGDOM

Today was week 3 of the series THE ULTIMATE QUESTION at The Orchard.

What is the ultimate question? Well, the ultimate question can be applied to anything in your life.  Last week we talked about time, this week finances, but the question can be asked no matter what this issue.  What is the question you ask?  Well here it is……

What is the wise thing to do?

For example, in regards to time, last week we asked the question, “In light of my past experiences, my current responsibilities, and my future hopes and dreams…..what is the wisest way to invest my time?

It is as simple as that, any situation you are in, or come across, all you need to do is ask, “What is the wise thing to do”  The thing is a lot of times we know what the wise thing to do, but we don’t do it.

Today we talked about our finances when faced with a financial situation, we need to ask “In light of your past financial experiences, your current financial picture, and your future financial hopes and dreams……what is the wise thing to do?

A lot of us approach our finances in this order:

1. Spend It
2. Repay Debt
3. Pay Taxes
4. Save It
5. Give It

What if we turned that around?

1. Give It
2. Save It
3. Pay Taxes
4. Repay Debt
5. Spend It
