Our nation is experiencing what many have described as the "American Nightmare." Increasing consumer debt, decline in savings, lower income growth, rising housing costs and a volatile stock market are contributing to economic insecurity. We live in a society that tells us "you deserve it now," whether or not we can afford it or really even need it.

We've struggled with these issues at one time or another. In this series we will explore what the Bible teaches us about financial management. Each message will provide you with tools you can use to assess your financial situation and develop a financial plan with a biblical foundation.

Human beings tend to look at the outward appearances. God looks at the inside- at the heart. And those two aren't always in tune with each other. Recalibrating is an opportunity to pay attention to the important things. Recalibrating allows you to slow down, step back and start praying for God's direction. What's going on inside of you? You can't always tell by looking at the outside of someone's life what is really going on the inside.
