The Tuesday night group had the privilege of eating lunch with Allan and Jeanne Howe over here at WestHaven. Allan and I (joined progressively by the remaining Tuesday nighters) talked some about what our group has learned and done, especially in the past year. For those that don't know, we just finished a "12-week" Bible study on personal/family finances from Crown Ministries... that ended up taking us a year.
The basic purpose of the study is to teach "biblical principles of financial management and stewardship." It takes biblically-minded American Christians from a point where they're driven primarily by greed and "the American Dream" to a point where they take seriously God's call on all our finances, where they think of themselves as stewards more than independent owners and controllers of their lives.
