God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

One way to be diligent in your financial planning is to evaluate all spending decisions by asking the following Scriptural questions: 1. Do I have any doubt about purchasing the item (Rom. 14:23)? 2. Have I given God an opportunity to supply it (Psm. 37:4; Pr. 10:3)? 3. Will it aid or hinder my spiritual growth (1 Cor. 6:12)? 4. Does it put me in debt (Pr. 22:7)? 5. Is it a good investment (Pr. 20:14)? 6. Is it meaningful for my family (1 Tim. 5:8)? 7. Why do I want it (1 Tim. 6:9)? 8. Do I really need it?

It is imperative to stress that drugs cannot change a child’s heart. If a child seems more obedient when taking Ritalin, it is because an influence on the child’s life has changed. That is, in the same way that parents and peers can influence our hearts, so our bodies can influence us. Our bodies bring pleasure and pain, intellectual clarity and confusion. Such physical changes can act like a temptation to which some children respond sinfully. When the temptation is removed, these children might be less prone to certain kinds of sins.
