The Bible contains more than 2000 verses that talk about money, and most of them are still very useful today.
We live in complicated times, with many people struggling to keep their finances in order, so here’s some advice we can find in the Bible:
1 Corinthians 16:2 – On the first day of...
Whatever troubles we might have to deal with, I think we can all be grateful that at least we weren't born in North Korea.
The biggest prison in the world
I just got an email from my electricity supplier announcing that my electricity prices are "evolving". They don't say increasing, or going higher. This is all very diplomatic and proper. The rates are "evolving", as if having to pay an extra 10% per month is a good thing...
I just spent one very long hour filling my tax returns. I will never get that precious hour back and that just makes me sad.
Good news is, I'm done until next year. I should open a bottle of wine just to celebrate that.
A couple days ago I went to my car to get a box I had in the trunk. I pressed the button to open the trunk on the key fob, threw the car keys inside and closed the trunk :rolleyes:
Lucky for me the car was parked on my street and I went home and got the spare key. When I think that could have...
I everyone.
There's been a lot of debate and strikes in France over the age of retirement going up from 62 to 64 y.o. I know people are living longer but I haven't looked into this and since I'm many years away from thinking about retirement, it's not something I worry about at the moment. But...
Hi just came across Chat GPT today for the fist time. I didn't know this existed, and now that I do, and that I know how it works, I don't know if I should be in awe or scared out of my mind.
I believe the moment Chat GPT became available the world changed, and right now most people don't even...
I thought it would be nice to share our favorite things about home, and by "home" II mean the place you currently live in.
I live in Bordeaux, south west of France, and the city is beautiful, but for me the best about living here is the work/life balance. It's big enough so I have everything I...
I was having this conversation with a colleague that is a very intelligent, reasonable person, and he doesn't feel like going to visit his family for Christmas. He doesn't want to spend money on gifts either.
I suggested he stays home and enjoys his peace and quiet. People have the right to...
I saw an article today saying that many people are now skipping meals because food has become so expensive.
Well, I've been skipping meals for years (for other reasons). I think I'm a visionary !
1st Timothy 6:8 says "Having food and clothing, we will be content with these things". I don't think this means that as long as we have food and clothes it's all good and we don't need anything else. I think being content in this context is about limiting our list of "wants" and learning to be...
I find this completely ridiculous, but have to give them some credit for creativity...
New Zealand wants to tax farmers for their cows' burps and farts | CNN
If they could just tax human stupidity instead :rolleyes:
The Bible doesn't specifically mention smoking but its principles make me believe that smoking is an unhealthy and unclean habit and therefore, inappropriate.
Here's two of those principles:
Acts 17: 24, 25 "The God who made the world and all the things in it does not dwell in handmade...
September is insane for me. Work is so busy I only have time to deal with urgent requests. Everything else has to wait. On top of that I've been dealing with a management that isn't exactly on the right side of efficient and some people have no clue of what a ROI is... Anyway, my stress levels...
I saw an article about newt ways people are using to deal with the remains of their loved ones, and it got me thinking if there is anything in the Bible in the form of instructions.
Cremation is becoming more popular and I can see why. I also saw something about burying a persons remains and...
I made a new friend recently – a Ukrainian refugee. Until last February she was a normal 25 y.o. living in Kiev. College educated, she was working and had managed to buy her own apartment and have a decent, normal life.
Now she’s by herself in France, living in a borrowed tiny bedroom in a...
