House Budget

Jesus says that our heart is where our money lands. We think he meant that. If we want the heart of God, it seems good to assume that our budget should reflect his heart. We use our money to feed the hungry, welcome refugees, house strangers, meet the needs of the body of Christ, and in developing nations, we provide clean water, give access to education, fight food insecurity, etc.
