Have a clear objective = “Honor God with all you have.” There are 5 things we can do with our money: SPEND; PAY DEBT; PAY TAXES; SAVE; GIVE. How we PRIORITIZE our finances either represents an open door or a closed door to your Heavenly Father. God knows that if He is #1 in your finances He will be #1 in your LIFE.

CHRIST FELLOWSHIP 6/21/09 LIVE LIFE WITH GOD AS YOUR FATHER I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, our Lord: who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father Almighty, where He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. I. Live life like God is your CREATOR. A. This is our HOPE! B. Because He creates all things to come together for our GOOD. II. Live life like God is your ABBA FATHER. A. With God as my Father I have love that is UNCONDITIONAL. B. God’s love is not stated; it’s REVEALED. III. Live life like God is your ALMIGHTY FATHER. A. He stands ALONE-UNIQUE. B. I don’t need to WORRY. C.
