My church has approved me to lead a Bitcoin and the Bible small group! For over 2 years now the church leadership has allowed me to tithe directly in bitcoin!

The small group will lay 3 simple ground rules.

1) Christ first, because we have all sinned and we will all make mistakes. By putting Christ first we eliminate the complaints that arise when we don’t get what we want from the others around us.

2) Bitcoin only, this is about changing the monetary system from one predicated on theft to one that has a foundation on truth. This is not about “making dollars” having “passive income” or “investment advice” this is about a new system of communication for our benefit and most importantly His glory.

3) No time preferences. If we truly believe that His purpose is greater than our preference; then the only thing that should matter is our action today, we cannot control or prefer the outcome of tomorrow.

In the course we will learn about how God views money and in turn, how we should use bitcoin in this broken world with a Godly perspective. By the end of the curriculum, you will have the ability to choose how you would like to proceed.

Through the lessons we may begin to see parallels between faith and finance, this is expected; money is a large topic in the Bible, but it doesn’t mean we should compare these parallels by attempting to make money our faith. Our faith is in Christ alone, we should have the understanding and wisdom of both faith and finance. Only once we have that, can we honor God by respecting the money that He has allowed us to each manage.

Just as Christ gives us a free and open opportunity to choose our own path in life, you may learn about this new finite money and not have any response; still so, the opportunity will be there when you are ready.

You should make lessons and publish them online

You can suffer in the darkness or you can play in the light.

Your perspective matters, if all you see is darkness change it, it’s hurting you.

The quickest way to happiness is learning to be selfless.

We are all slaves, even the rich. But there is hope, a new day will dawn where we are free.

God is good. God has a plan. God Loves us.

I’m not a big reader, I consume most of my information via video. But if a book is good there is usually lots of videos talking about it that I’ll check out.

Money is a tool, not a goal.

Freedom is a goal.

Don’t forget that.

Darkness does not drive out darkness…

Perception ≠ Reality

That’s why we must all always be seeking TRUTH.

People don’t need Jesus, they need Love, when they have that they will find Jesus on their own.

How many doors can you walk through at once?

Share this if you think Bitcoin is evidence of a loving God.

All we have is this moment. You decide what to do with it.

He says something at the beginning about people driving people away from religion, I think that’s insightful.

Love and Forgiveness, where does one begin and the other end?
