Profit and loss
June 25, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Are you watching the stock markets, interest rates, home values? Or just hoping to survive one day at a time? Living in a prosperous country, traveling to places where people, especially widows, struggle to find their next meal, I’m forced to think about what matters. Philippians 3: 7–9 reminds me that what I count as profit, is loss compared to having Christ. What we think we have is rubbish, compared to the treasure of Christ.
V We met widow, Nadine, in Mathare Valley, a Christ follower caring for her children, nieces and nephews. Her home is barely twelve square feet, a small corner for cooking, one pot, sleeping mats. Nadine’s treasure matches mine. We are both eternally wealthy because we both have the treasure of Christ.
