Culturally Irrelevant

Posted by FaithfulDEEDS at 1:14 pm

When people ask you about the latest music, movies or other entertainment, do you know the answers and have the ability to carry on a conversation about it? If not you might be culturally irrelevant! But don’t worry, that’s a good thing.

Call me crazy but I count it as a complement when people think of me as culturally irrelevant because it means that I am separating myself from the world and setting my mind on Godly things instead of the cares of the world. How else can you understand the concept of holiness? When 1 Peter 1:15,16 says, “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”, it refers to Liviticus 19:2 when God commands His people to be holy, I guess what we really need to understand is holiness…

Being Holy is when something or someone has been dedicated to God and sanctified. The santification process is a lifelong journey for all Christians, but it requires a desire to be seperate from ungodly things and/or people. However, this is not an excuse or reason to not talk to or evangelize to non-Christians, its simply a call to be in the world but not to be OF the world. Being holy helps us to learn more about God and the things of God, while releasing the cares of the world’s culture and mindset.

We shouldn’t know the latest songs and their lyrics, nor the latest movies and their plots, as Christians we should have more knowledge of Kingdom Culture and less knowledge of the World’s Culture. Take this simply as a challenge, something to help you set your eyes and mind on the things of God and be secure enough in yourself and your identity in Christ to be Culturally Irrelevant.

God Wants You To Be In Debt

Posted by FaithfulDEEDS at 10:00 am

What? Financially Faithful has lost it’s mind right? Wrong. Before you close your browser and claim blasphemy let’s look deeper at what God wants us to be indebted to.

Debt is mentioned 22 times in the Bible, but the most intriguing mention of debt comes in Romans 13:8. This scripture tells Christians to let no debt remain except the continuing debt to love one another. So when the question arises, “Is all debt bad debt?” the answer is simply no, however you must recognize what debts should remain and which debts should be paid. The scripture before Romans 13:8 explains in detail how we must pay our responsibilities, but recognize this… you will never be truly debt free if you are a Christian. Though you may be free of financial debts we should always strive to go deeper into Godly debts. Debts of love, respect, honor and reverence.

So instead of aiming to be debt free, Financially Faithful wants you to simply exchange your worldly debts for Godly debts because that is how you will experience true freedom! You don’t want to be servant to your debtors, unless your debtor is God. By exchanging your financial debts for debts of love, honor and respect, you will come to know God on a deeper level as you are striving to break free from financial bondage. This is our goal for you at Financially Faithful. So if you are ready to get out of financial debt and get to know God on a more intimate level, contact us today!

If you have questions about your finances or personal financial challenges, feel free to leave a comment and we will be glad to help you find solutions and opportunities to help you succeed.

Are You Committed?

Posted by FaithfulDEEDS at 10:00 am

What are you committed to? A true commitment is when you pledge yourself to someone or something without question.

It’s amazing when you hear friends, family members and fellow Christians talk about how broke they are and how they wish they had enough money to do what God has called them to do. The question is, are you committed to making a change? Change will bring about problems/opportunities, that’s guaranteed, but if you stay committed through the problems you will come to solutions, which will result in change. It’s a cycle. Change brings problems/opportunities, problems/opportunities bring solutions and solutions bring about change.

If you are tired of being broke and tired of not being able to fulfill your true purpose, make a change and stay committed to your decision. If you do so successfully, you will see true financial solutions and God will be able to change your financial situation for good! Don’t treat getting out of debt like a yo-yo diet, decide to make a change, decide to stay committed, make a once-and-for-all decision to get out of debt today!
