Credit card's good as long as that cash flow is good. As long as the money's coming in. There's not a problem you've got a job you making those payments. The point of the story today is, it's not a sin. It's not like terrible but it's best not to have those credit cards in your life. You'll be able to sleep better at night and I promise you, the confusion in your life when you do lose your job or you don't have the money will be minimal compared to what it is with those high balances.

Do you have a $3 worth of character and integrity? Can you open your books today to show your wife, children and grandchildren and tell them, "this is how I do my business”?
We’re called to be holy. That’s what God calls us to be. And oftentimes we can confuse those things when it’s costing us money. I wonder what God could really do in our lives if we were holy, if we’re really men of integrity, if we really had the character that we portray to our colleagues and our family. He could open the floodgates and He could do things that are immeasurable compared to what you’re trying to do on the side or on the sly.
Take a personal evaluation and do better, today.

Life is about the journey. It’s not just about the pentacle. It's not just the summit, whatever that is for you. We're not spending the time, the effort and the energy with our families. Quit worrying about how long it takes you to get there. It’s called living life! It’s not all about the speed. It’s all about the relationships! Enjoy the journey!
If you scale on relationships as much as we’re trying to scale our business, you have more money than you know!

Hey guys! What is getting in your way today from your success? What is it that's holding you back this morning? Is it resources? Is it people? Is it incentive? Is it drive? Is it fear? What is holding you back from being successful at what you're trying to accomplish? We've got to look at an obstacle from a different perspective. Like, I had a guy recently call me. He had a business idea and it was amazing and he said, "I only got one problem." He said, "I don't have any money." I said, "Well let's talk through that. So we did. He came back a few weeks later and he said, "'ve got a guy that's willing to give me the money but he wants 40% of the deal. I'm not going to do that!" I said, "So you'd rather have a 100% of nothing than a 60% of something?" And he "Well, you got a good point." We need to be thinking outside the box, persistent, committed, and consistent. Obstacle is the way sometimes.

Some of you guys, my heart goes out for you today because you're dealing with children that you have a broken relationship with. You don't have any ties, any connections.
Here's what I want you to do today. Reach out to those kids today with maybe a word of encouragement, maybe a hug on them, love on them. Tell them that you love them.
I am not saying condone what they've done. We have a lot of kids out there that are knuckleheads that have done the wrong thing. They've made bad decisions. But let me remind you of something. You made some bad decisions yourself as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult. Don't hold them to a standard that you're not willing to adhere to yourself when you were a younger kid. Let's show some grace.
Be the bigger person. What I am saying is there is nothing that they would do that would separate my love and willingness to go out and pursue them. Maybe you need to say "Hey I don't agree with what you're doing but I want you to know that I will spend my last quarter helping you if you're willing to change."
Don't love your passbook more than you do your kid. You got to love them back to you not beat them into submission.
