A Strong Financial Future – First things First

Financial fitness, like physical fitness, is mostly about good habits. You are establishing habits and getting into a routine at an early age.

Everything you have is from Him: For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory.  Romans 11

The same is true of our giving.  If we give with whats leftover, very often we won't be giving at all or will at least not be able to freely determine how much we give.  Lets take a look at a moment in Abraham's giving: The lord told him, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 So Abram presented all these to
