Financial stewardship matters to God. How are we wisely investing the funds the Lord has entrusted to us? I’ve written before on budgeting, and the best budgeting software for Christians. But I want to share yet another service I use to wisely manage my funds, despite the fact that when it comes to money I’m a total rube. Maybe you’re like me. I didn’t really think about money all...
