The LOGO for the ministry (a red dot located in the center of an equal sided triangle), gives a complete description of how you can have TRUE FINANCIAL FREEDOM!
THE
TRIANGLE
represents our responsibilities. Within
the fulfillment of these responsibilities we can find safety, success
and prosperity. The three
lines of equal length represent the need for balance.
The joining of these three lines symbolizes that it is not a
destination we pursue but rather a continuous journey.
The bottom left corner of the
triangle
points to the need to develop the right Attitude. Our focus should be learning to make good choices,
understanding and applying discipline, growing in wisdom and accepting
God's Word as an absolute in dealing with all of the issues of life.
The
bottom right corner of the triangle points to the need to take action.
Application
of Biblical and common sense principles is how we effect change in our
lives. Applied wisdom
results in success. When
connected, the first two points lay a foundation for the future.
The top corner of the
triangle
points to the unlimited possibilities that result through the Assimilation of the right
attitude with sound Biblical and common sense principles.
Not only will we begin to live life skillfully but we will also
be equipped to share our knowledge and success with others (spouse,
children, friends and those God brings into our lives).
THE
RED DOT
is
placed in the center of our responsibilities to fill what was an empty
void. The Red dot
represents our need to acknowledge God.
Although we may be able to live a more responsible life on our
own, we will never be able to experience the peace, joy, blessings,
happiness and freedom that come when we understand, accept and walk in
harmony with God's perfect plan for our lives.
The Red Dot is also a
reminder that the first drop of Christ blood that was shed on the cross
was the reason that we are able to not only be financially free but also
eternally free from the consequences of sin.
Independently, these two symbols remind us of our responsibilities and our Hope. When synthesized, they represent a completed life.
