Tax day reflections on money and stewardship
There’s nothing quite like moving from the spiritual high of Easter right into… the April 15 tax deadline! If you live in the U.S., today is the dreaded deadline for submitting your taxes. And if, like me, you put off your taxes until the last minute, chances are that money and finances have been weighing heavily on your mind for the last few days.
Tax season has a way of reminded us that we probably haven’t been as careful, or stewardly, with our money and possessions as we should. With that in mind, here are a few articles that explore the subject of personal finances through the lens of faith:
- A Christian View of Personal Finance—extensive study of what the Bible teaches us about money and stewardship.
- A massive list of Bible verses about money—a nice way to see at a glance what and where the Bible talks about wealth and finances.
- * ACTS International has a short devotional that asks: have you mastered your money, or has it mastered you?
- …and of course, no tax day would be complete without reading Jesus’ response to a trick question about taxes.
Looking back at the way you handled your finances in 2008, how did you do? What will you be doing differently this year?
