In March, during the Lenten season of contemplation, we are reminded of our mortality, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us, and God’s grace. Lent coincides with the anticipation of spring—a time of renewal, reflection, and preparation for the future. Just as we take stock of our spiritual journey, it is also an opportune time to reassess our financial well-being. Thoughtful stewardship of our resources aligns with the principles of faith, allowing us to make informed decisions that cultivate stability, generosity, and growth. We hope this issue of Tomorrow provides you with valuable insights to navigate the complexities of financial planning and embrace a future of wise and purposeful financial management.
Our feature, "Preparing Financially for Illness or Incapacitation," provides essential guidance on safeguarding your finances during unexpected health challenges. This article outlines steps to protect you and your loved ones financially during difficult times. In "What’s the Difference Between a Roth and a Traditional 403(b)?" we compare Roth accounts and traditional 403(b)’s, which can play a crucial role in your retirement planning.
In "How Loans Affect Your Credit Score and Rating," we examine the factors that influence your credit score, how loans can impact it, and strategies to maintain a healthy credit profile. This edition also explores church finance. In "Financial Strategies for Your Church," we illuminate how churches can assess their financial health while planning for future ministry and financial needs.
The March issue of Tomorrow concludes with our “Financial Fact: What You Should Know about Airline Fares and Refunds.” With air travel becoming more accessible, this article provides valuable insight into seeking lower airfares and understanding your consumer rights regarding new refund policies.
Finally, I leave you with this scripture: “O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1 (NIV). David composed this hymn of praise to illuminate God’s boundless love and enduring patience toward those who falter. Psalm 107 serves as a timeless reminder to offer daily gratitude for the gift of the Lord’s unfailing mercy. As you journey through Lent, may you find spiritual renewal, drawing strength from God’s grace. May you also carry forth the message of the Lord’s abundance and redemption, sharing God’s love within your churches and communities.
In Christ,
Louis
