Kingdom Financial Principles Says “Day of Christian Accounting Will Come”
Every year at this time businesses and individuals begin preparation for tax day. I guess in some ways it is as though it’s a day of reckoning. Interestingly, according to Gene Jolley, President of Kingdom Financial Principles (KFP) and creator of the Rapid Debt Reducer software, there is a day of reckoning on its way that will dwarf what we here in America call April 15. It’s the day when Christians, who among other things, must stand before God and give account of how they used their financial blessings here on earth.
Groton, VT (PRWEB) February 10, 2004 -- Every year at this time businesses and individuals begin preparation for tax day. I guess in some ways it is as though it’s a day of reckoning. Interestingly, according to Gene Jolley, President of Kingdom Financial Principles (KFP) and creator of the Rapid Debt Reducer software, there is a day of reckoning on its way that will dwarf what we here in America call April 15. It’s the day when Christians, who among other things, must stand before God and give account of how they used their financial blessings here on earth. The idea of explaining to God how one used their money is a subject not heard much in churches but as Jolley would be first to point out, it’s definitely a biblical subject. Gene Jolley is not only a financial advisor but also a devoted Christian and because of his passion to educate and help financially struggling families and individuals, he realizes that there is a great disparity between the way many Christians handle their money and the way God wishes them to.
The first thing you learn in an economics class is you can’t stretch money, that is, if you have a twenty dollar bill you can buy a CD or a pizza but unless it’s a really cheap CD not both. Unfortunately it seems too many adults have never learned this single valuable lesson. With access to plastic money consumers are trying to stretch their dollars to buy more and more and it has resulted in a mountain of uncontrolled debt.
Jolley understands Christians are stewards of their money and as such they must make their choices wisely. Perhaps that is why the idea of a final day of accounting can be so scary—if Christians are being crushed under a mountain of debt than they haven’t used their money wisely. But Jolley also understands that debt is not always the result of bad habits. Indeed, much of what Jolley does in his seminars is to not only explain how consumers are misled about money matters but to acknowledge that in many cases debt results from unforeseen financial disasters.
Still, this financial advisor has plenty to say to Christians about money stewardship. Jolley quotes statistics that point to only 2% of Christian incomes being given to church and adds “That is a far cry from the 10% minimum God asks for.”
There seems to be an interesting correlation between the above statistics and what the New Testament terms a “cheerful giver.” Consider this; how cheerful can one give who is burdened under a mountain of debt? Jolley understands the high toll debt can place on a family but he also understands that church revenues are to be used for furthering the gospel and to help minimize the tragedy inflicted upon the world through poverty. Christians in debt have a way of escape.
