I am not worried.

I am though cautious about the next 5 years and will not be making any major purchases.

I think this is a good opportunity for Christians to revise their spending habits and priorities. Whilst ministries in poor countries suffer for lack of support I think we should all look at what kingdom we are building individually.

Finances and Guidance issues are covered fully in www.prayersword.org.uk for those who like to ask God for help.

I can see and believe God isn't against money. The UK such a small country yet is the 5th (out of 195) richest in the world. I don't believe that is just a coincidence. God has blessed the UK in many ways despite what some people would say.

I know that even in my small circle of friends there are those affected by the credit crunch and in some cases it's because folks are struggling to manage their money by budgeting wisely or having made good choices rather than bad ones etc.

For anyone struggling with debt or money worries have a look here...
