3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Tithe

Last updated on: November 2, 2010 at 6:00 am By Tim

I’ve read a lot of good articles over the last year about tithing and each made some great points. I wanted to put my own spin on the subject of tithing, so I’m going to give you three reasons why you shouldn’t tithe. You Shouldn’t Tithe If… 1. You tithe because you want recognition. Matthew 6: 1-4 instructs us how NOT to give to the needy. “Matt. 6:2 So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with... Read more

Featured Christian Finance Blogs: Favorite Bible Verses

Last updated on: October 29, 2010 at 6:30 am By Tim

There are quite a few verses in the Bible about money and it’s difficult to pick one and call it my favorite – so I got a little help from a few Christian personal financial bloggers. When I asked these eight bloggers which verse about money was their favorite, I figured that I’d have a few overlapping answers. Interestingly, each gave a different verse – which is pretty cool because all of these blogs are unique in their content and... Read more

Was My MBA Worth It?

Last updated on: October 28, 2010 at 7:00 am By Tim

I’ve read a few articles recently about education and whether or not you should even pursue a degree. It’s true today that you don’t need a degree to be successful, especially with the face of business changing. College certainly isn’t for everyone, but I think that an undergraduate degree is worth the investment – if you’re smart about where you go to school and what you study. (Please, please don’t rack up $50k+ in loans – that’s no fun) For... Read more

Philippians: A Manual for Christian Entrepreneurs

Last updated on: October 27, 2010 at 6:55 am By Tim

Philippians – A Book for Entrepreneurs If you haven’t read the book of Philippians in a while, take ten minutes and read it. It’s only four chapters and I promise it will encourage you today. A little background of the book: Paul is writing to a group of believers in Philippi, a military city and Roman colony with very few believers in Christ. Paul’s letter is full of encouragement, instruction and wisdom – all of which will benefit Christian entrepreneurs... Read more

Should I Convert to Roth?

Last updated on: October 21, 2010 at 7:00 am By Tim

2010 Roth Conversion Rules As you may already know,Congress passed a law in September that allows for in plan Roth conversions for 401(k) and 403(b) plans.

Why A Church Should Use a 403(b)

Last updated on: October 20, 2010 at 7:00 am By Tim

First, What is a 403(b)? A 403(b) is a retirement account similar to a 401(k) – the biggest difference is that non-profits generally use the 403(b) (hospitals, churches, schools, public foundations). The account name 403(b) is taken from the section “403(b)” in the Internal Revenue Code. The 403(b) is similar to a 401(k) in many ways: – Both allow employees to contribute pre-tax (ROTH if your plan allows) directly from your paycheck. – Both have contribution limits: 2009+ is $16,500...
