Immediately after church yesterday, three of us left to attend Dave Ramsey’s Momentum seminar in Nashville, TN. Last night kicked off with a banquet and some amazing food, and then we moved into our first session. Here are a few highlights from last night:
- What could the people of God do for the kingdom of God if they were debt free?
- What is momentum? A plan to completely revolutionize the way you handle God’s money. It’s a process for creating a church filled with intense, passionate, sold-out and generous givers.
- Momentum is discipleship. It’s not easy because we have to change our behaviors.
- In one word, momentum is… repentance.
- We live in the richest place in the world, America. Yet we have told God, “God, you have not supplied my needs. So I’m going to borrow some money so I can have what I need.” Aren’t we way too selfish.
Last night I discovered that Momentum is a church wide initiative where I commit myself to lead our people to financial freedom. To rid ourselves of personal debt and church debt and become a person of generosity and a church of generosity. I can’t wait! It’s going to be amazing to see what God can do when we are able to be financially free and no longer slave to the lender.
