Welcome! We are so excited you are a part of this early phase launch of www.MasterYourMoney.com. There is so much exciting content to come! Our hope is that you find encouragement and practical advice through these weekly Video Feeds. We also hope that you share this resource with others who can benefit from it.

Our current economy feels threatening and different to many of us. We want to know how to frame our own financial situation within the current crisis in American financial markets. In this short video, Ron responds to those feelings of uncertainty with common sense wisdom and foundational financial principles. How can Christians set themselves apart as people of wisdom and confidence in this uncertain time? Watch the video to hear Ron’s answer.

In this Video Feed, my encouragement to you is to go back to God’s word to restore your faith. Let me assure you that fear is a legitimate emotion in light of our current economic circumstances. However, over time, faith and fear cannot co-exist. Take a few moments to meditate on the following scriptures so that you are reminded of the place of God’s eternal truth in the midst of economic uncertainty.

Psalm 62:5 – 8 (NIV)
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
My hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your hearts to Him,
For God is our refuge.

James 1:5 (NIV)
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

II Corinthians 3:5
Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

I Timothy 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
