Money is an essential means of conducting the affairs in our lives. With it, we purchase necessities, pay bills, tithe, support ministries, and give to those in need. As legitimate as these transactions are, it’s worth asking ourselves about our motives and priorities. Do we possess money, or does it possess us?

How can the fruit of the spirit win the battle against the sins of my flesh? This four-day reading plan shows the battles of JOY versus jealousy, greed, self-pity, and ungratefulness. Kristi Krauss uses the fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5 as a guide to spur us into action to become champions of JOY in our daily lives.
