		<description><![CDATA[One of the more powerful concepts to understand in the matter of personal finance is cash flow.  Most of us can easily tell the difference between being confident &#038; comfortable with our finances versus struggling with our finances.  Unfortunately, many people do not truly understand cash flow, nor do they grasp the crucial role it plays in regard to their own personal finances.<h3>Related Articles:</h3><ul>

		<description><![CDATA[Ephesians 6:10-18 outlines a powerful and encouraging passage of scripture that deals with The Whole Armor of God.  In it Paul reminds the reader that the Christian battle is not one of flesh and blood, but of principalities, powers, the rulers of this world, and wickedness in high places.

I CANNOT help but read this and liken it to our battle against debt, advertising, wantonness, and the war to gain control over our personal finances.<h3>Related Articles:</h3><ul>

We were feeling lazy and wanton, and had no Sunday afternoon meal ready prepared... so when the preacher mentioned tacos in his sermon, it was all over.
