Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition of Pathway to Victory, the way we create financial margin is by obeying God in every area of our finances.

Financial margin in your life does give you the freedom to do what's right. It gives you the security of preparing for your future needs. It gives you the joy of supporting God's work.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress. Financial pressure is driving a wedge between husbands and wives all across the country, and many couples end up spending far more money than they actually earn.

It's no wonder that financial problems have become one of the leading causes for divorce.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress outlines the Bible's roadmap to financial freedom.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. This month we've been looking at one of the most neglected books in the Bible, and that's tragic because the Proverbs contain ancient wisdom.

Really, God's wisdom that easily translates into your demanding lifestyle. I've written a book that coincides with this series, and I'd like to get a copy into your hands today.

It's called The Solomon Secrets, Ten Keys to Extraordinary Success, and it's yours when you give a generous gift to Pathway to Victory. Be ready to jot down our contact information later, so that you can take advantage of this time limited offer today.

But right now it's time to get started with today's study. Solomon's time-tested wisdom holds the key to achieving and enjoying the things we want most in life.

Like the issue we're addressing right now, I've titled today's message The ABCs to Be Financially Free.

God has a unique purpose for your life and for my life, and that means money is not the end. Consumerism is not the end. Money is simply the means to the end to give us the freedom we need to fulfill God's will for our life.

The goal of every Christian should be simply to have enough money to help us do what God has called us to do. In fact that word enough is a great goal for every Christian.

We're looking at what the Word of God specifically Proverbs says about how to be successful in your work and in your relationships in every area of life.

Now today we're going to conclude this study by looking at four practical ways to create financial margin in your life.

How can you have that financial margin in your life today? I have what I call the ABCs to be financially free.

Here are the four principles for creating margin in your life. The A stands for adjust your spending below your income.

If you want to have margin, first of all, adjust your spending below your income. Now the B in this outline stands for be careful of debt.

Be careful of debt. Here's the basic problem ladies and gentlemen with debt.

Debt allows us to artificially live beyond our means and debt erases any financial margin that we have.

Here's a good illustration of that. Let's say you decide it's time for your family to have a new car.
