QFD | Treasured : Entry 11 - When Hearing Isn't Obedience

We know what Jesus said about generosity, security, and trust. We just don't want to do it — because doing it costs actual dollars, not just intentions. What we've treasured quietly reveals itself when obedience gets concrete.

QFD | Treasured - Entry 10 - When Anxiety Becomes Allegiance

Jesus begins with therefore, and He means for us to remember what came before—treasure, vision, masters. Anxiety does not enter the conversation as a mood or temperament. It enters as a consequence. When treasure is misplaced, worry follows. Not because life is fragile, but because we've treasured something too small to hold us.

QFD | Treasured - ENTRY 9 — When Wealth Becomes Weight

The rich young ruler kept the commandments, ran to Jesus, and knelt before Him. But he treasured his possessions more than he desired transformation. When Jesus named the one thing he could not release, he walked away sorrowful—wealth intact, invitation refused.

QFD | Treasured - Entry 6: The Illusion of Control

Control promises safety but cannot deliver it. When money convinces the soul it is in charge, trust erodes. Scripture calls us back to a simpler confession: if the Lord wills.

QFD | Treasured : Entry 5 - The Anxiety Tax

QFD | Treasured : Entry 1 - When Money Moves, the Heart Speaks

Treasured : Entry 1 - When Money Moves, the Heart Speaks “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” —Matthew 6:21 (ESV) Money is honest in ways we often are not. It speaks plainly even when we hesitate. It reveals loyalties we didn’t intend to show. It answers questions we haven’t dared to ask. Before we explain ourselves, excuse ourselves, or defend ourselves, money has already told the truth. It does not reveal the heart when it sits in the account. It rev
