THE NATIONAL DEBT AND THOMAS JEFFERSON
Today, in the United States, we’ve been told that the recession is officially over. But for a lot of people it really doesn’t feel that way. “Good luck surviving the recovery!” heralded one news magazine cover. And why? Well, for a number of reasons, but here’s one of them: America is facing a huge credit crunch. And not just on a personal level. America’s national debt, which was big, is rapidly growing by the trillions.
Seven Things I Want Kids to Know about Money

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 10:1-22
SWEEPING MONEY TALK UNDER THE RUG
Some time ago, I heard the story of a very liberated couple. This couple had decided that they would raise their children in a very liberated way. As part of their parenting approach, they would discuss any and every topic in the presence of their children. No subject, no matter how sensitive, was considered to be taboo. Well, all subjects but one. When it came time to discuss matters relating to the family budget-when it came time to talk about money-husband and wife retreated to the privacy of their own bedroom and locked the door.
FAITH IN THE FACE OF THE FACTS
Scripture Reading: Habakkuk 3:16-19
Written By: Stan Mast
I wish that everyone cared as much as Habakkuk did. Today we witness so much suffering on TV and the movies that we become numb to it. In fact, we are so accustomed to the grim facts of life that some people actually think that TV reality shows full of violence and suffering are entertainment. To use a phrase from one of Charles Colson’s books, they have been “Donahue-ized.” Do you remember Phil Donahue, one of the original talk show hosts who regularly featured suffering people as entertainment? He’s gone, but dozens more have taken his place. As a result, many people are simply unmoved by human suffering. It seems that every week there is some article in the paper about people who simply walk by when they see someone lying wounded on the sidewalk. They look, but like the priest and the Levite in Jesus famous parable of the Good Samaritan, they pass by on the other side. They just don’t care.

An Interview with Bob DeWaay
by: Jeff Fuller
I recently had the priviledge of interviewing Bob DeWaay, Senior Pastor of Twin City Fellowship and author of the book “Redefining Christianity: Understanding the ‘Purpose Driven’ Movement” which was released earlier this year.
Bob DeWaay was a chemical engineering student when he was apprehended by the gospel of Christ in 1971. In the fall of that year he transferred to North Central Bible College and graduated in 1974. Bob and his wife then joined a Christian community that practiced “innovative” spirituality including exorcism/inner healing techniques, new prophetic revelations, heavy handed shepherding and other aberrations. Leaving that community in 1980, Bob began the process of careful, verse-by-verse Bible study and teaching, searching out answers to the errors he had experienced first hand. This Bible study led to the conviction that the Bible teaches God’s sovereign grace, not man-centered techniques.
