Living on the Edge
About this episode

Would you like to make this the best year of your life, no matter what happens with the economy, on your job, or even your health? It is possible! Chip explores how to balance the demands of life and prioritize the activities and relationships that matter most to you.

Six symptoms of misplaced priorities:

  1. BUSYNESS - The Activity Trap.
  2. UNDUE stress and pressure.
  3. Low grade NAGGING GUILT.
  4. FINANCIAL debt.
  5. PRAYER-LESSNESS - "Leakage” in your devotional life.
  6. ESCAPISM behavior.

Two words hold the keys to enjoying the peace and power of a prioritized life:

  1. Your TIME - Psalm 90:10-12; Ephesians 5:15-17
  2. Your MONEY - Proverbs 3:9-10

Application: Four Commitments

  1. GIVE the first portion of each paycheck to God.
  2. PAY your bills next.
  3. LIVE on the rest.
  4. GET OUT of debt.
