Something happens and you&#39;re happy for a while, then real life creeps back in. True, lasting happiness can only be found in submission to Christ. Once you take your eyes off of this world and put them on Christ, the worst crisis can happen to you and you&#39;re still happy... not happy that the thing happened to you, but happy in that you know that your short time here and all the trials you endure here are merely a blip compared to the eternity that you will spend with Him... conversely, if you are not submitted to Christ - the worst thing that can happen to you here is better than the anguish you will experience for eternity.JCLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16002871438267220633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587624244418783431.post-2717336727559064382009-12-23T09:34:54.698-06:002009-12-23T09:34:54.698-06:00Hi, <br />Great article! I completely agree, expectations play a key role regarding how happy we are. I recently thought about this too.

We have gleaned from many people along the way, some Christians, some not... And quite a bit of valuable information has come from non-Christian sources... Your ultimate mentor is the Holy Spirit, you need to take anything you learn to Him in prayer and in reading the Word, and you will know if you are walking down the wrong road if you are tuned in to Him. Having said that, we have made friends with people in our Church who have succeeded in other businesses than real estate, they have mentored us in some areas that have helped us in RE... A lot of concepts are common among different businesses, RE included.JCLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16002871438267220633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587624244418783431.post-80528885946751746642009-11-30T17:59:21.316-06:002009-11-30T17:59:21.316-06:00Do any Christian investors offer mentoring programs such as the &quot;get rich quick&quot; companies, but in a realistic, God honoring way?

I will allow room for false teachings about tithing granting the tither special favor or freeing us from curses turning people off from tithing. Jesus&#39; work at calvary was and is absolute. No man can add or take from his perfect work. Tithing has nothing to do with obtaining or bettering our salvation, it is a completely FREE gift, it does not require 10% of our gross,net or any other incomes. I will say though, I too have been convicted by the Holy Spirit to give a tithe on my gross income. At first, I had a problem with the whole thing, but a close friend challenged me to start tithing on my gross income. He promised to pay any bills I couldn&#39;t make because of tithing, so I figured I had nothing to lose. To make A long story short, I would never give back any less. God has blessed me so abundantly since my choice to be obedient. Not just financialy,but in too many ways to share in this short blogg. Please consider this is the only time the Lord promises us specific results to our obedience, then calls us to TEST Him, and see if He won&#39;t bless you abundantly. You have nothing to lose by not thithing,except for a flood of abundant blessings, so decide prayerfully, don&#39;t just take other people&#39;s advice. Tithing is scriptural to the New Testament church, Christ said he did not come to abolish the Law, but to complete it. No, tithing cannot get you into Heaven, but we are called to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587624244418783431.post-2186954884731910632009-11-20T21:58:24.472-06:002009-11-20T21:58:24.472-06:00Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? <br />Help, please.

So many people made the mistake of thinking that no money down is necessarily a good deal. It is most certainly not easy to get rick quick, and flipping a house in this economic environment would be very tough.

In most markets, houses have lost so much value that a lot of people's houses are worth less than the outstanding mortgage loan balance. So even if they were to sell, they would still owe a balance on the house. Now when you consider that they also have to either purchase another place to stay or put down some sort of deposit to rent a place, and it quickly becomes obvious that the current situation is not conducive to selling.<BR/><BR/>In reality it all comes down to how much you can get from an eventual renter and how much of your mortgage payment is going to be covered by their monthly rent.<BR/><BR/>Also, keep in mind that if you're being relocated, then you won't be there to act as the landlord. You'll likely have to hire a property management company and that's going to cost about 10% of the monthly rent collected.<BR/><BR/>So all in all, it's a balancing act, but the premise of renting at least to wait out the current real estate downturn is a very sound one.Atlanta bad credit home loanhttp://moneygalaxy.com/credit/atlanta-bad-credit-home-loannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587624244418783431.post-29094560223234640182008-12-28T13:06:28.129-06:002008-12-28T13:06:28.129-06:00It's true that most of us blame the circumstances when failure occurs.
