Diagnosis
Money is a tool and a revealer. It will expose whether you trust a standard or a feeling. Stewardship is not cheapness. It is refusing to let panic or status drive the cart.
Protocol
- 1Write what money is for in your house in four lines: give, save, owe, live.
- 2Make the next money decision against that written standard, not the mood.
- 3If shame is loud, get the numbers on one page. Fog is where bad choices hide.
The standard: A written money standard. One decision that matches it.
“You cannot serve both God and money.”
Matthew 6:24
