I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, Lets talk about money
M How do we know who to trust for financial council? Some voices we hear are those of our friends. But they are saying different things. We go to Scripture to sort it out. I learned there were three different words in the original languages translated ‘friend.’
The first, philos one who loves. Proverbs 17:9, 18:24 This friend has your back. Loves you no matter what They are willing to swallow our less than perfect behavior and protect our reputation. They love us unselfishly, without an agenda.
V You need philos friends for getting advice related to money. They have no selfish interest, only our well being. They encourage you to check with others. They don’t rush you into hasty decisions
