INTEGRATING STEWARDSHIP INTO DAILY LIVING: HOW CAN CHRISTIANS PRACTICALLY APPLY THE CONCEPT OF STEWARDSHIP IN THEIR DAILY LIVES
- Recent research showed that while Christians understand the concept of stewardship, they often struggle with practical application in daily life.
- Over 80% of surveyed Christians believe applying stewardship principles positively impacts their lives.
- Many expressed a desire to learn basic stewardship principles and how to use financial blessings in a God-honoring way.
THE IMPACT OF CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION (CCCU) ON MINISTRIES LIKE HOUSE OF REFUGE SUNNYSLOPE:
- House of Refuge Sunnyslope in Phoenix provides transitional housing and focuses on preventing homelessness and sharing the gospel.
- CCCU helped them acquire adjacent property to expand their single moms program, providing affordable financing and rapid problem-solving.
- CCCU’s contributions are guided by Scripture, investing resources in ministries that further the gospel and support vulnerable communities.
THE ROLE OF CCCU MEMBERS IN KINGDOM WORK AND TREASURE BUILDING IN HEAVEN:
- Joining CCCU aligns members with a Christian financial institution that invests in spreading the gospel and aiding ministries.
- Members’ deposits help provide affordable financing for church construction and ministry growth.
- Products like the Cash Rewards Visa Card benefit members and contribute to Christian charities, with CCCU having donated over $6 million to date.
ON TODAY’S PROGRAM, ROB ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:
- I'm interested in internet banks for their high savings and CD rates, which seem to offer over 5%, and I want your opinion on them.
- At 76 years old and retired with various accounts like annuities and a money market, I'm wondering if there are any other financial avenues I should consider at this stage in my life.
- With $125,000 saved to buy a property in Florida, I'm unsure what to do with this amount as it has been sitting in a bank for over 10 years in a regular money market account.
- I'm 61, and my wife is 63. We're looking to renovate our paid-off house and are considering how to finance the updates, including potentially using our HELOC, which is one minus prime.
