As I minister to seniors all over the country, one of the biggest causes of stress that I see in their lives is the subject of finances. But did you know that God doesn’t want money to be a source of stress in your life? And that He wants you to experience financial freedom? It’s true.

Yet, financial freedom won’t just happen. God expects you and me to be good stewards of the money He has blessed us with. As the apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:2, “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”

You probably remember the days of door-to-door salesmen, those gentlemen who used to ring your doorbell at 2 p.m. trying to sell you the latest and greatest product you just had to buy. I can’t tell you how many stories I’ve heard from husbands who came home after work only to be surprised by their wife’s new purchase!

When I think back to some of the greatest days of my life… my wedding day or the day one of my children was born… it’s almost as if I am taken back to that moment in time. I feel the joy again of seeing Virginia walk down the aisle, or the wonder of holding one of my children for the first time.

Over the years, I’ve learned there are two givens in life: hardship and God’s presence through those hardships. Because we live in a fallen world and are sinful people, we’re going to experience struggles and loss in this life. Some may find life to be more difficult than others, but none of us can escape its pain.

Dear Friend,
Heaven is a very big concept for us to understand, which is why I believe that the
Bible doesn’t even attempt to fully explain it. The reality of heaven is greater than any words could ever describe…

When I was a pastor, I had the wonderful opportunity to counsel many people in our congregation. And oftentimes, I would counsel people who admitted horrible offenses against their spouses.

Virginia and I have found some fun and rewarding ways to introduce people to the Lord. One of the most successful approaches has been what we call our “waitress ministry.” God has used us to build relationships with waiters and waitresses in restaurants and cafes for almost half a century… with wonderful results!

I wrote to some of you recently asking what you felt were the real issues we face today… especially as seniors. And your answers confirmed what Virginia and I have been feeling too!
