Real estate ownership and prosperity are two topics that have been the subject of much discussion among the Christian communities. Many people believe that God wants His people to be prosperous and own real estate. In this blog post, we will explore the biblical basis for these beliefs and examine what they mean for believers today.

First, it’s important to understand that the Bible contains many passages that encourage financial prosperity. For example, in Deuteronomy 28:8, God promises to bless His people with “abundant prosperity” if they obey His commands. Similarly, in Proverbs 3:9-10, we are told to honor the Lord with our wealth and that He will “fill our barns with plenty.”

Additionally, the Bible teaches that real estate ownership is a blessing from God. In Genesis 12:7, God promises to give the land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants as an everlasting possession. Similarly, in Deuteronomy 6:10-11, God tells the Israelites that they will inherit houses filled with good things that they did not build and vineyards they did not plant.

It’s important to note that these passages are not a guarantee of wealth or real estate ownership for all believers. Rather, they are an indication of God’s desire for His people to experience financial prosperity and stability. As with all things, our financial well-being ultimately depends on God’s sovereign will and our willingness to follow His commands.

So, what does this mean for believers today? First and foremost, it means that we should strive to follow God’s commands and live our lives in a way that honors Him. This includes being wise with our finances, practicing good stewardship, and being generous to others. It also means that we should be open to the blessings that God wants to give us, including financial prosperity and real estate ownership.

At the same time, we should not view these blessings as an end in themselves. Rather, they should be seen as a means to further God’s kingdom and bless others. As Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:33, we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us.

In conclusion, the Bible clearly teaches that God desires His people to experience financial prosperity and real estate ownership. However, these blessings are not guaranteed to all believers and should not be viewed as an end in themselves. Instead, we should seek first God’s kingdom and trust in His sovereign will for our lives.

According to a National Highway Traffic Safety  Administration (NHTSA) report, each year an average of 19 school-age children lose their lives  in traffic crashes related to school transportation. With a new  school year approaching, help stay safe by following these tips:

Red Means Stop…Really. When you see the red flashing lights on a school bus, don’t be tempted to sneak past. Stop and stay stopped until the lights no longer flash or until otherwise signaled by the school bus driver.
Slow Down Near Schools. Remember to slow down in accordance with the reduced speed limits in school zones. Watch for designated crosswalks and children who may not be paying attention.
Conduct a Car Check. Check headlights, oil, turn signals, and tires before letting your son or daughter embark on their journey to college or school. You never know when these vehicle essentials may break down!
Stay Back, Don’t Pass. It is illegal to pass on the right side of a bus. With many different stops on a bus route, remember to be alert when children are loading and unloading the bus.
Stay Alert. Children are unpredictable. Near a bus or in a school zone, you never know when they’ll run into the street unaware of drivers. Be one step ahead and anticipate a child’s move.

According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages three to 14. Reduce the risk and implement these tips for safe driving when there are children in your vehicle:Young ChildrenWhen children have outgrown a convertible safety seat, they should use a booster seat until they are 10 years old.
Even when young children are tall enough to use an adult seat belt, they should ride in the backseat until they are 13 years old.

ToddlersKeep toddlers in a rear-facing, convertible safety seat for as long as possible.
When the child outgrows the safety seat, toddlers should sit in a forward-facing safety seat complete with a full harness.

InfantsAlways drive with infants in a rear-facing safety seat.
Once a child exceeds the manufacturer’s height and weight limit of the seat, infants should continue to ride facing the rear in a convertible safety seat.

Remember, car seats are only effective in keeping children safe if they are installed correctly. Before driving with any child passengers, double-check that the safety seat is mounted correctly, locked in place and that all buckles and straps are intact.

Monthly Four-Point Safety Check

To ensure you’re driving a safe vehicle, take a few minutes to conduct this monthly Four-Point Safety Check. Your car and your safety may be riding on it!Tire Pressure: Make sure all tires are inflated to the pressure recommended in your owner’s manual (not the maximum pressure noted on the tire’s sidewall). The correct pressure will ensure your tires wear evenly which will reduce the chance of blowouts.
Check Front End Alignment: Any pothole or bump can knock your car out of alignment. While driving slowly in an empty parking lot, see if the vehicle is pulling to one side. If so, have a qualified mechanic realign your front end.
Take a Brake: When in park, check your brake pressure. There should be resistance to the pedal when depressed. And, any grinding, squeaking or shuddering you hear or feel when you hit the brakes means it’s time to have them serviced.
Keep Your Lights On: Blown out brake lights and turn signals can be a big hazard on the road. Have a friend help you make sure all lights are working properly.

Virginia is celebrated for many things, including being the home of Jamestown, the first English settlement in America in 1607. While Virginians can expect to pay a bit less than drivers in most other states, its insurance rates shift on a monthly basis.
