Christianity isn't a gateway to making wealth. God operates on the linear of PRINCIPLES. That's why the rain falls on both the good & the evil. You can be the best Christian & be very poor. If you want or you desire to create wealth, then you must under the PRINCIPLES that God works on in regards to creating wealth. It is IMPORTANT to note that God is the only one who gives us the permission we need to create wealth. This is found in Deuteronomy 8:18. The KEY PRINCIPLES OF CREATING WEALTH ARE:

1. PUT GOD FIRST — Matthew 6:33
The Bible teaches that wealth should never become our master. Build, invest, grow and prosper, but never allow money to take the place of God, character, family or purpose.

2. WORK DILIGENTLY — Proverbs 10:4
There is no biblical shortcut around work. Consistent, disciplined and intelligent effort creates opportunities, builds competence and gives your ideas a real chance to become productive wealth.

3. DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS — Proverbs 22:29
Skill can open doors that connections cannot. Keep learning, improving and becoming excellent at what you do. The Bible says a skilled person will eventually stand before kings.

4. CREATE VALUE — Proverbs 31:16–24
Biblical wealth comes from producing something useful. Build businesses, solve problems, provide services, trade, manufacture, farm or create something that makes another person's life better.

5. PLAN BEFORE YOU MOVE — Proverbs 21:5
Hard work without direction can still leave you broke. Set goals, understand your numbers, calculate the risks and build patiently. Wealth is usually the result of deliberate decisions repeated over time.

6. SAVE PART OF WHAT YOU EARN — Proverbs 21:20
You cannot consume everything today and expect financial freedom tomorrow. Learn to keep part of your income, build reserves and prepare yourself for emergencies and future opportunities.

7. INVEST AND MULTIPLY — Matthew 25:14–30
Money that simply sits idle loses opportunities. The biblical principle of stewardship challenges us to take what has been entrusted to us and responsibly make it more productive.

8. DIVERSIFY YOUR INVESTMENTS — Ecclesiastes 11:2
Do not put everything you own into one investment, one customer or one business. Life is uncertain. Spread risk so that one unexpected setback does not destroy everything you have built.

9. DO NOT WAIT FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS — Ecclesiastes 11:4
There will never be a perfect time to start. At some point you must research, calculate the risk and move. People who wait until every uncertainty disappears may never build anything.

10. AVOID GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES — Proverbs 13:11
The Bible warns that wealth gained hastily tends to disappear. Sustainable wealth is normally built slowly through discipline, consistency, investment, productive work and patience.

11. BE CAREFUL WITH DEBT — Proverbs 22:7
Debt can accelerate growth when used wisely, but it can also destroy freedom. Never borrow casually. Understand the cost, repayment obligations and whether the debt is creating productive value.

12. LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS — Proverbs 21:20
Financial freedom is not only about earning more. It is also about controlling what you spend. Many people increase their lifestyle every time their income rises and never actually become wealthy.

13. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS — Proverbs 27:23–27
Know the condition of your business, assets, debts, cash flow and investments. You cannot manage what you refuse to measure. Financial ignorance can destroy even a profitable enterprise.

14. SEEK WISDOM BEFORE MONEY — Proverbs 3:13–16
Money without wisdom can disappear very quickly. Before chasing returns, develop judgment, discipline and knowledge. Wisdom helps you recognise opportunities and avoid expensive mistakes.

Today’s ICE COLD FACT 💎

[katsu @katsuxbt]

Andre Iguodala says the new money flooding into college sports is quietly breaking the players it makes rich

“We talk about the Portal, the NCAA, NIL. These kids are missing resilience, accountability, constructive criticism in the formative years of their lives”

“So when things get hard, they just pack up and go to another situation, because they couldn’t get through what they needed to get through. When we talk about how much money is in sports now, we aren’t being as honest as we should be”

“I’m not an old-school guy, these kids are better basketball players than ever, hands down. But some of the characteristics, the values… it’s not their fault. Society switched a little bit”

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

Free agency is here and, right now, my TL is all LeBron, all day. Where's he going, what are the Warriors doing, etc. That's fine. He's LJ. I get it! But I'll tell you what I'm actually watching, and it isn't LJ and marquee guys. It's the OGs.

Don't get me wrong, I love this young NBA. These kids are so skilled it's almost unfair, and athletic in a way that's crazy. Different game now. A better one in a lot of ways, and I mean that.

Here's my thing, though. When I came into the league I didn't know anything, not really, and it was the vets who raised me. Guys like Ervin Johnson and Lindsey Hunter and Ray Allen taught me how to carry myself, how to be a pro on the nights nobody's watching. Taught me about money. Shoot, taught me about golf, about how to be a man. I needed that. Most of these young guys need it too, whether they know it yet or not.

So yeah. Harrison Barnes going back to San Antonio, that one was obvious. Russell Westbrook getting tied to DC? I love it for AJ Dybantsa and them. And if you've got a young roster you're trying to grow, you have to call a Khris Middleton or a Mike Conley. Get somebody in that locker room who's seen it, lived it, and can pass on that knowledge.

They can still give you minutes, sure. But that's not really why you sign them. You bring them in for the kid who's got all the talent in the world and no idea what to do with it yet. The vet pulls him aside when the coaches can't. Shows him the little things nobody teaches you in college. Shows him how to play the game, but also live the life.

Each one teach one. That's how it used to worked in the NBA. Let's make sure the young guys get that same guidance.

Anthony Vereen is one of the Warriors most important voices on their bench. He just never expected to be sitting where he is today.

Make it make sense…the math ain’t mathing 🤦🏾

[Shane Tuttle @ShaneTuttleNCAA]

There are currently 2,901 players in the men’s basketball transfer portal, opening 14 hours ago.

With only 5,607 Division I players total, more than half of the player pool is now in the portal.

Michigan and UConn basketball players open up about their faith on Easter weekend ahead of the NCAA championship on Monday.

“Jesus wiped my eyes clean. My whole mind is different.”

“The way I talk, or act changed. The way I treat other people. It’s more not to get, but more to serve.”

Happy Easter!

“The resurrection is everything. That’s like the staple of Christianity… Without the resurrection, there is no Christian…”

“[Jesus] changed everything about me… The way I talk, the way I treat other people… I’m really here to serve others”

I asked Ben Humrichous - a former NAIA player who just competed in the Final Four - if he has an appreciation for that unlikely journey.

I was moved by his answer.

"When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God - for the gift that this was... By God's grace... It's unlikely... God's sovereign hand being that in that... He did so many incredible things... God's grace just supplied what I need."

Under AD Nina King, Duke University is thriving across multiple sports.

A former business executive, King is part of a growing trend of business-minded leaders navigating the NIL and athlete compensation era.

Will more schools look outside traditional athletics backgrounds for future ADs?

Very interested in hearing any response...

Congrats @NdotSmitty!

Coach Smith becomes the 12th first-year head coach in Ohio Valley Conference history to earn Coach of the Year honors and is just the seventh first-year coach in league history to win COTY while capturing at least a share of the regular-season championship.
