Your War On Debt Student Guide (Scripture References)

Financial Freedom Begins with Faithful Stewardship

For many years, I've had the privilege of helping individuals and families learn practical, biblical principles for managing their finances. As a former volunteer budget counselor with both Larry Burkett's Christian Financial Concepts and Crown Financial Ministries, and as a former Financial Peace University facilitator, I've discovered something very important.

The greatest financial problem is rarely money.

More often, it is a lack of understanding about biblical stewardship.

God has entrusted each of us with time, talents, abilities, opportunities, relationships, and financial resources. One day, every believer will give an account of how faithfully those gifts were managed. Good stewardship begins long before we ever prepare a budget.

That is why I completely revised my study guide.

Introducing...

Your War On Debt Student Guide (Scripture References)

This newly revised 34-page workbook is designed to help you understand God's principles for handling money while developing the heart of a faithful steward.

Rather than simply telling you what to do, this guide explains why God cares about stewardship and how His Word provides practical answers for everyday financial decisions.

Inside you'll discover:

• Biblical principles of stewardship
• God's perspective on money and possessions
• Practical steps toward financial freedom
• Scripture references throughout the guide for personal Bible study
• A sample zero-based budget worksheet
• Suggested spending category percentages
• Practical worksheets to help you build your own spending plan
• Encouragement to become a faithful steward rather than simply becoming debt-free

Whether you're just beginning your financial journey or simply want to become a better steward of what God has entrusted to you, I believe this guide will encourage and equip you.

Perfect for Personal Study or Small Groups

This guide is designed to be flexible.

It can be used:

• Individually as a personal Bible study
• By married couples seeking financial unity
• By churches and Sunday School classes
• Small discipleship groups
• One-on-one mentoring
• Financial coaching ministries

Because the workbook is being converted to PDF format, it can easily be shared by email, making it convenient for both individual and group studies.

More Than a Budget...

Budgets don't change lives.

God's Word does.

When our hearts change, our financial decisions begin to change as well.

My prayer is that this study guide will help you discover not only financial peace, but the joy that comes from faithfully managing everything God has entrusted to you.

As Jesus said:

"Well done, good and faithful servant..."

That is the goal—not simply becoming debt-free, but becoming faithful stewards who honor Christ in every area of life.

The Buy-Sell Network — But What Are We Really Buying?

Every day we buy and sell things.

We buy products, services, ideas, entertainment, convenience, and comfort. We sell our time, our skills, our labor, and sometimes even our peace of mind just trying to “get ahead” in life.

That’s the world we live in.

And yet, this morning I was reminded of something Jesus said in the Book of Revelation that stopped me in my tracks.

To the church of Laodicea, Jesus said:

“Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed… and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
— Revelation 3:17–18 (NKJV)

What powerful words.

Jesus was speaking to people who thought they were successful because they had wealth, comfort, and material prosperity. But spiritually, they were bankrupt.

Isn’t that still true today?

We live in a culture obsessed with buying and selling. Bigger houses. Better cars. More followers. More money. More success. More possessions. Yet many people are still empty inside.

Jesus was not condemning wealth itself. He was exposing misplaced trust.

The people of Laodicea believed they “needed nothing,” but they had neglected the things that mattered most:

• Truth
• Righteousness
• Humility
• Spiritual vision
• A genuine relationship with God

Jesus told them to “buy” something far more valuable than earthly riches:

• Gold refined in the fire — genuine faith tested and purified
• White garments — righteousness and purity before God
• Eye salve — spiritual understanding and discernment

The interesting thing is that these things cannot be purchased with money.

They are received through repentance, faith, humility, obedience, and surrender to Christ.

As I reflected on the name “The Buy-Sell Network,” I realized there’s a deeper message hidden within it.

We are all participating in a marketplace every day — not just financially, but spiritually.

The real question is:
What are we investing our lives in?

Jesus lovingly warns us not to become spiritually comfortable while chasing temporary things that cannot satisfy the soul.

Verse 19 says:

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.”

That is not a message of condemnation.
It is a message of love.

Jesus corrects those He loves because He desires something better for us than empty success and temporary riches.

In a world consumed with buying and selling, may we never forget the things that truly matter:

• Faith
• Integrity
• Compassion
• Wisdom
• Generosity
• Truth
• Eternal life through Jesus Christ

The greatest investment we can ever make is not in earthly treasures, but in the Kingdom of God.

Because one day, all earthly markets will close.
But eternity will remain.

“Buy the truth, and do not sell it.”
— Proverbs 23:23

Do Business Til I Come: A Reflection on Luke 19:11-25

 

Do Business Til I Come: A Reflection on Luke 19:11-25

In Luke 19:11-25, Jesus shares the Parable of the Minas, a powerful story that calls us to action and faithful stewardship. This parable, set against Jesus' approach to Jerusalem, offers timeless lessons about responsibility, diligence, and living with purpose.

The Parable Explained

The parable begins with a nobleman who travels to a distant country to receive a kingdom. Before leaving, he entrusts ten of his servants with one mina each—a significant sum of money in biblical times. His instructions are clear: “Do business until I come.”

The nobleman represents Jesus, who, after His resurrection, ascended to heaven to receive His kingdom. The servants symbolize believers who are entrusted with resources, opportunities, and abilities to advance God’s work while awaiting His return.

Upon his return, the nobleman calls his servants to account. The first servant reports that his mina has earned ten more, and the second has earned five more. Both are commended and rewarded with authority over cities. However, a third servant admits to hiding the mina out of fear, producing nothing in return. This servant is rebuked, and his mina is taken away.

Lessons for Today

This parable challenges us to reflect on how we are using the gifts and opportunities God has entrusted to us. Here are three key takeaways:

1. Faithful Stewardship
   The nobleman’s instruction to “do business” reminds us that God calls us to be active and diligent. Whether it’s our time, skills, or resources, we are stewards of what He has given us. The question is, are we using them wisely?

2. The Reward of Faithfulness
   Those who faithfully multiply their minas are rewarded generously. This teaches us that our efforts, no matter how small they may seem, have eternal significance.

3. The Danger of Fear and Inaction
   The third servant’s fear and inaction led to his downfall. This warns us against letting fear, laziness, or excuses prevent us from fulfilling our responsibilities.

Applying the Parable Through Jesus’ Command to Love Your Neighbor

Jesus’ command to “Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:39) gives the Parable of the Minas an even deeper application. Using our skills and abilities to serve others is a powerful way to fulfill this command and multiply the resources God has given us.

• Let Your Work Be Your Ministry: Whether you’re an entrepreneur, teacher, caregiver, or artist, your work can be an act of love and service. View your skills as a means to uplift and care for others, reflecting God’s love in everything you do.

• Invest in Others: Just as the servants in the parable were tasked with multiplying their minas, we are called to invest in the lives of others. This could mean mentoring, volunteering, or simply offering your expertise to someone in need.

• Build Relationships Through Service: Loving your neighbor means meeting them where they are and serving their needs. Use your talents to create opportunities for connection, encouragement, and support in your community.

Conclusion

The Parable of the Minas is a call to live purposefully and faithfully, knowing that we will one day give an account of how we used what God entrusted to us. By linking this parable to Jesus’ command to love our neighbors, we are reminded that our stewardship isn’t just about productivity but also about compassion and ministry.

Let’s embrace this challenge with diligence and courage, committing to “Do Business Til He Comes” by loving and serving others through our skills and resources. In doing so, we honor God and participate in His Kingdom work.
