God Loves the Humble

Over and over again, we read in God’s Word that God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humility does not deny our strengths, but correctly evaluates our weaknesses.

The one who teaches financial principles should live by the principles which theyContinue reading “Who We Are”
