   Today's  "FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH"  Editorial      

THESIS:  
 

        It is my view that “Business Administration” courses at Christian Colleges/Universities should include the following two areas:

            ---  1st Area --"Christian Ministry Finances” ---

 WHAT:

      These “Business Administration"  students are our  "Next Generation of Christian Ministry Finance Leaders"  and as such they should learn during this time of their education at such a School about the uniqueness of  "Christian Ministry Finances".     This list below of "Unique Matters re Christian Ministry Finances" is  Found Within  one of our WebBOOKs:

        Perspective as to Unique "Christian Ministry Finance"  Matters    
        Restricted or Designated Monies
        Fund Accounting at Christian Ministries
        Special Purpose Funds - plural (SPFunds or SPFs)
        General Purpose Fund - singular (GPFund or GPF)
        Expenditures - Not Expenses per se

        During this process they should learn about the Ministry fully utilizing applicable  “Internet Friendly” resources and Tools
 

    ---  2nd Area --"Personal Finances” ---

WHAT:

            As mentioned when you  Read This  ---  such students need to righteously manage their own "Personal Finances"  beginning at their college (or equivalent) days  –   please see the “HOW” comments below.   Of course, all students should get some help along these lines, but I am convinced that this should especially apply to those taking “Business Administration” courses.

HOW:

             These students should assume full responsibility for their personal money management and “Spending Controls” .  Or parents should relegate such matters to the kids (who probably are already quite   “Internet Friendly”) whereby the kids pay all of their bills associated with their formal education, as well as their life style, etc.  They learn to live within a budget via the appropriate method;  which includes paying off their Credit Card balance weekly.   See the information when you Go Here  plus when you link to the "Christian Family Unit”  portion Found Here .       

More Ideas along these lines:

         When they are Seniors their "Business Administration” course curricula  could very well include such features as:

       >>     In this overall process, they contribute to a certain Christian Ministry making full use of
                such Internet Friendly resources and the accounting system described  Here.   

     >>     The students do this by going Online and temporarily serve others as would fully supervised
                Homer - Helpers:           

     >>     Or they remotely assist Small Churches/Ministries and Missionaries; see more details about
               these ideas below:
