Plan for Your Future: Your Home Purchasing Wisdom

Daniel Park, Ph.D., School of Business and Management

Jesus mentioned two masters and emphasized that you cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24, Study Bible). One reason why he included money as the rival god to our true God is that money has power to be a master of people. In many cases, one of the key powers the fake master uses to control people is fear, especially financial fear. We have to surrender to God, our true master, but we should control money as one of our God-given resources. This presentation will discuss the wisdom related to housing purchase because, for most people, it is the largest life purchasing decision. Of course, the borrowed money for the home purchasing takes the longest time to pay back among personal debts for most people. We hope this presentation will provide participants a good learning experience regarding how to plan the home purchasing process wisely, so that we can control money, the fake master, and use it not for fear but for a very important God-given tool to expand His Kingdom.
