Succeeding in Difficult Situations

Hello Everyone, my name is Byron Howell and this is the Byron Howell Ministries Podcast.  Thank you very much for joining me today and I know we are going to have an awesome discussion and this is going to bless you. Let me start by saying that I know I haven’t posted in a while.   I hope you have all been well.   We have been well at our house.   I’ve been really trying to focus on God and His plan for my life.   I want to make sure that I’m doing what He wants me to do.   So I’ve been spending more time in personal Bible study and prayer, and I know that as I seek His will, He will reveal it to me by His Holy Spirit.   And I know that is true for all of you as well.   This morning as I sat down to read the Bible I started thinking about this concept of succeeding in difficult situations and I felt like I should do this teaching and maybe it’s just for one person out there.   But if so that’s ok and it’s all worth it.

But remember the LORD ...

Seedtime and Harvest for Finances (and everything else)

Hello everyone, last week on my podcast I talked about whether a Christian should tithe.  That was a very important discussion because the vast majority of churches teach that Christians should tithe and that if you don’t you are cursed and robbing God.  As we saw, there are several reasons to tithe, and because of them I tithe and I do agree that everyone should tithe.  But I think we should teach tithing correctly and not improperly use fear of punishment or curses to encourage people to tithe.  That full teaching about tithing is on the Byron Howell Ministries podcast, and please consider listening to it. While tithing is probably the number one financial teaching in the Church today, the second most common financial teaching is called “seedtime and harvest.”  The simple idea behind seedtime and harvest is that if you sow a financial seed God will bring a financial harvest into your life.  While this core idea is Biblical, this concept has been imprope...
