 Path of Life

Some years ago, my wife and I were leading a small group in our home. The group had been meeting for about a year. Randy and Debbie were part of our small group. They had been married about seven years at the time and were unable to have children. From time to time throughout that year we had prayed for them that they might have a child, but as of yet they had not.

One evening as we launched into a study of Luke’s Gospel, I was reading the passage in Luke 1:5-25 regarding God’s provision of a son to Zechariah and Elizabeth in their old age. All their married life Zechariah and Elizabeth had been unable to have children. As I read this story out loud, the Holy Spirit clearly spoke to me saying, “I want to do this for Randy and Debbie as well.” I sensed the Holy Spirit’s leading so clearly that I stopped and related to the group what I was hearing. To everyone’s amazement, we were all thinking the same thing!

So we stopped and prayed again for Randy and Debbie, but this time we had a clear sense from God that his timing was right and he wanted to glorify himself through answering prayer prompted by his Word and his Spirit. Two weeks later Debbie announced she was pregnant! There was no doubt in any of our minds that this child was a gift from God in answer to our prayers that night. Randy and Debbie now have two lovely daughters.

• “Am I on track with God in my finances?  What does he want or expect of me in this regard?”
• “How do I determine my financial health?  And how do I improve it?”
• “How do I get out of and stay out of debt?”
• “How do I know how much to give to God?”
• “Why is it we never seem to have enough money to make it until the next paycheck?”
• “I make enough money and have money to spare, but I sense there is more God wants me to do and that it has to do with my finances.”

These are all important issues that you will work through in Uncommon Cents.  But we believe your experience in Uncommon Cents will yield far more than helpful financial advice, tools and skills.  For you are about to embark on an adventure with God!

God makes a clear distinction between what is holy and what is common (Leviticus 10:10).  As his children, he calls us to a holy or uncommon lifestyle.  “As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.  But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.”  (1 Peter 1:14-15)  The principles you will read about on the pages that follow are uncommon.  That is, they do not follow the common patterns of thought or practice that our world or culture pursues.

Much of what is common in our culture is so deeply rooted in our lives, that it takes some pretty radical life change to expose it and dig it out.  That kind of life change is something only God can perform.  In Uncommon Cents, you will have the opportunity to draw close to God through a wide variety of activities and life challenge projects.  These are designed to propel you forward in your walk with Christ.  And as you draw near to him, you will not be able to remain unchanged.  He will expose the common in your life and give you the opportunity to replace it with what is uncommon and holy.

We challenge you to prepare your heart to meet with God as you pursue him through Uncommon Cents.  Expect and watch for him to work in your life.  Trust him in ways you’ve been afraid to in the past.  Ask him for his help and provision in your daily life and finances.  If you are married, enter into this adventure with your spouse as a team.  Also, partner with your small group and watch God work in each other’s lives.  He will, because that’s what he does!
