Eclecticsite.com welcomes you to The Christian, Financial Counseling Page Handling money God's way! Created and maintained by  Keith Rawlinson Volunteer Budget Counselor

The purpose of this web page is to guide you through various money issues from God's perspective.  The Holy Bible contains at least 2,350 verses dealing directly with wealth.  Many of these verses give us specific instructions for how to handle our money.  Over my years of financial counseling, I have noticed, time and time again, that when you handle your money God's way, He blesses your effort.  He may choose to bless it with money or material posessions, but He may also choose to bless it in some other way.  God didn't promise how He would bless us when we do things His way; but, He did promise that He would bless us.  Everything on this page is presented from a Christian perspectve.  The articles here offer more philisophical rather than practical guidance.  For actual techniques, methods and step-by-step guidance, please read the articles on my Financial Page at Eclecticsite.com.

If you:

• Have excessive debt.

• Have money you want to invest.

God's wisdom can each you what to do and how to do it.  Through the Bible, God teaches us how to best use the money He has given us.
