About

Welcome to BibleMoneyMatters.com – a Christian personal finance blog that helps regular people dump the chains of debt and live a financially free life.

Hi, I’m Pete, and Bible Money Matters is my faith and finance blog where I write about all things personal finance.   I believe that everyone can live a life free of debt and financial strain, they just need to have a plan.   Hopefully this blog can play a small part in helping you to start your financial blueprint so that down the road you can save, invest and give more to others!

Our Story

When we were first married my wife and I had thousands of dollars in student loans, credit card debt and other consumer debt.  We decided that we had had enough.  We decided that we wanted to become debt free and get rid of the heavy weight that debt put on our shoulders.   Since then we have been blessed to become debt-free except the mortgage.  We love being debt free, and like to live by this verse:

The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7

We don’t ever want to be servant to the lender again.   We are now working our way towards building a nice nest egg for our future, and hope you’ll join us on that journey.

The Blog

Bible Money Matters was launched in January of 2008 as a place for me to talk about my Christian faith and how it affects my finances.  Many people believe that faith and finances should be wholly separate, but I believe they are inextricably bound.  The bible has over 2300 verses on money, and it is clear to me that our money needs to be informed by our faith.
