New episode of The Reformed Deacon!

In this episode, Shiloh OPC, Raleigh, NC Deacon and CDM member Tim Hopper welcomes Dr. Jim Newheiser, professor at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC and author of the book, "Money, Debt and Finances: Critical Questions and Answers."

Dr. Newheiser says the goal of his book is to bring together finance, accounting, and investing with a Biblical perspective that is rooted in sound theology. "I really believe in the sufficiency of Scripture to guide us in life," he says.  In this episode, Dr. Newheiser wisely points out that we have freedom to spend money, "and we can't tell someone how to spend, but to use godly wisdom. So much of our life involves our vocation, our responsibility to provide, [and] our stewardship of the resources God has given us."

Pray for Ukraine

February 24 marked the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian pastors, elders, church members, and MTW missionaries continue to serve and worship in the country. Their plea is that the global Church would remember them, and the people of Ukraine. As an encouragement to remind us to pray, more than a dozen men and women shared their prayer requests, which range from praying that the war would end, to the safe return of children being held illegally in Russia, and the emotional and spiritual state of all Ukrainians, that God would draw them to Himself. Please watch, and pray.
