The Better Way: Do Not Lie | Nic Kimmance

Honesty is not just a moral standard. It is the foundation of every meaningful relationship and a reflection of who God is. Most of us lie not because we are bad people, but because we fear that the truth about us will not be enough. We want to be accepted, approved of, and seen as capable, so we construct versions of ourselves designed to earn what we are afraid we do not already have. But the gospel tells a different story. God already knows everything about us and still loves us completely. When that truth takes root, the need to perform or deceive begins to lose its grip. Living with integrity means letting our yes be yes and our no be no, trusting that we are already enough in Him.

Money: What do I do with it? God of Multiplication | Becky Waterman

Most of us have stood in a place where what we have simply does not feel like enough. Whether it is money, time, talent, or faith, we tend to look at the numbers and conclude that they just do not add up. But God does not operate by the rules of addition. He is a God of multiplication. In 2 Kings 4, a man brought twenty small barley loaves to Elisha during a famine, and God used that humble offering to feed a hundred people with food to spare. This principle extends far beyond finances. The time, skill, prayer, and encouragement you offer, no matter how small it feels, can be multiplied by God in ways that reach far beyond what you can see. Bring what you have, give it first, and trust Him with the rest.

Money: What do I do with it? Saving | Chris Kimmance

The Bible has practical wisdom for managing money, saving, and getting out of debt. Saving is not the same as hoarding. It is a wise and biblical habit, whether for emergencies, specific goals, or maintaining healthy cash flow. Debt can be tackled through honest budgeting, reducing spending, increasing income, and continuing to tithe as an act of trust in God. Contentment is a discipline that must be learned, not a feeling that arrives automatically. When we bring our finances under God's authority, money becomes a tool for His purposes rather than a source of anxiety or control in our lives.

Money: What do I do with it? Spending | Chris Kimmance

Money touches every part of life, and the Bible has a lot to say about how we use it. Four key principles help shape a God-honouring approach to finances: putting God first, being generous, providing for your family, and avoiding debt where possible. Putting God first means tithing, seeking His peace before spending, and remembering that everything we have already belongs to Him. Generosity flows naturally from love, and the Bible calls believers to be rich in good deeds and willing to share. Providing for family is not just a practical duty but an expression of faith lived out at home. Debt, described in Proverbs as making the borrower a slave to the lender, should be avoided unless there is genuine necessity, the means to repay, and real peace from God.

Money: What do I do with it? Parable of the Talents | Nic Kimmance

The Bible teaches us to be faithful stewards who multiply resources for kingdom purposes, not just meet basic needs. The parable of the talents reveals that God expects us to invest wisely rather than let fear paralyze us into inaction. When our identity is secure in God's love, we make financial decisions from wisdom rather than emotion. The key is understanding the difference between bread (for today) and seed (for tomorrow), being both generous givers and wise multipliers. God wants to get money through us, not just to us, so we can have greater kingdom impact beyond what our physical work alone could accomplish.
