Bible and Finances Summary

 

Here's a Summary of Ronnie Bell's speech from the brunch I went to, Saturday, May 31st 2025.

Navigating Wealth Through a Biblical Lens

The Bible offers profound insights into wealth, emphasizing that God is the ultimate source of all provision. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us that the ability to produce wealth is a gift from God, rooted in His covenant with humanity. This foundational truth calls for humility and gratitude, recognizing that prosperity comes not solely from our efforts but through God’s grace and favor. The Scriptures encourage believers to cultivate a character of integrity and faithfulness, acknowledging God as sovereign over every aspect of life, including finances.

The Power of Diligence and Integrity

Financial prosperity, according to biblical principles, is closely tied to diligent work and honesty. Proverbs 10:4 and Proverbs 13:11 highlight that hard work and consistent effort, rather than shortcuts or dishonesty, lead to enduring wealth. The Bible doesn’t celebrate material success for its own sake but emphasizes the development of virtues like integrity and perseverance. Daniel’s story exemplifies steadfast faithfulness, illustrating that true wealth lies not just in material gain but in unwavering character and trust in God’s plan.

Stewardship, Generosity, and Contentment

Luke 16:10-11 and Proverbs 21:5 teach that faithful stewardship of both small and large resources reflects a heart aligned with God’s will. The Bible encourages not just accumulation of wealth but wise management and responsible use, fostering a spirit of generosity. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 and Proverbs 11:24-25 emphasize that giving—whether monetary, acts of kindness, or service—opens the door to God’s blessings. The principle of "sowing and reaping" encourages generosity, warning against hoarding and greed that can stifle true prosperity.

Eternal Perspective Over Earthly Treasures

Matthew 6:19-21 shifts the focus from temporary, material wealth to eternal values. Earthly riches are vulnerable to decay and loss, but treasures in heaven—such as acts of compassion, generosity, and spiritual growth—have lasting significance. This passage challenges believers to prioritize eternal investments, where their hearts are aligned with God’s kingdom rather than fleeting worldly gains. Ultimately, biblical financial wisdom calls for a balanced approach: appreciating material blessings while focusing on lasting, spiritual treasures.

God's Promise to Abraham and Sarah

Abraham (originally called Abram) and Sarah (originally Sarai) were a married couple living in ancient Mesopotamia. God chose Abraham and made him a promise: that he would become the father of a great nation, with descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5). However, there was a problem — Abraham and Sarah were both very old, and Sarah had never been able to have children.

---

Hagar Enters the Story

Years passed, and Sarah still had no child. In her frustration and doubt, Sarah offered her Egyptian maidservant Hagar to Abraham, so that he could have a child through her (Genesis 16:1–2). This was a common practice at the time, though it caused great tension later on.

Abraham agreed, and Hagar became pregnant. But once she knew she was carrying Abraham’s child, Hagar began to look down on Sarah. In response, Sarah treated her harshly, and Hagar ran away into the wilderness.

---

God Speaks to Hagar

While Hagar was in the desert, an angel of the Lord appeared to her and told her to return to Sarah and Abraham. The angel gave her a promise: her son, whom she was to name Ishmael, would also become the father of a great nation (Genesis 16:10–12). Hagar obeyed and returned.

---

Isaac Is Born

Years later, when Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90, God miraculously allowed Sarah to become pregnant. She gave birth to Isaac, the child of promise (Genesis 21:1–3). Sarah was overjoyed, but the arrival of Isaac led to further conflict.

---

The Separation of Hagar and Ishmael

One day, Sarah saw Ishmael mocking Isaac. She demanded that Abraham send Hagar and Ishmael away (Genesis 21:9–10). Abraham was distressed, but God told him to listen to Sarah and reassured him that Ishmael would also become a great nation.

Hagar and Ishmael were sent into the desert. When they ran out of water, Hagar wept, thinking her son would die. But God heard Ishmael’s cries, and an angel showed Hagar a well of water. God remained with Ishmael as he grew up, and he became the ancestor of many Arab peoples.

---

Legacy

Abraham and Sarah's son Isaac would go on to father Jacob (later called Israel), making him a patriarch of the Jewish people.

Hagar's son Ishmael became the forefather of many Arab nations.

Their story reflects themes of faith, doubt, divine promises, and the complex relationships between people and God.

Lights, Camera, Submit! Navigating Film Festival Season

 

Film festival season is one of the most exciting times for filmmakers and screenwriters alike. It’s not just a chance to showcase your work—it’s an opportunity to network, learn, and immerse yourself in the creative community. As the submission windows open for festivals big and small, it’s crucial to research which festivals align best with your genre, budget, and goals. Whether you're aiming for Sundance, a regional gem, or a genre-specific fest like Fantastic Fest or Outfest, timing and strategy are key. Make sure your screenplay or film is polished, properly formatted, and accompanied by a compelling logline and synopsis.

Submitting your screenplay starts with selecting platforms like FilmFreeway, Coverfly, or festivals’ own websites. Be sure to tailor your application to each festival’s theme and requirements. Include a writer's statement if requested, and don’t forget to track deadlines—many festivals offer early bird, regular, and late submission tiers with escalating fees. For filmmakers submitting completed shorts or features, it’s helpful to also prepare a press kit including stills, a director’s bio, and a trailer if available. Presentation counts just as much as storytelling, especially when hundreds (or thousands) of entries are competing for limited spots.

Once accepted—or even just planning to attend—start organizing your trip early. Book accommodations close to the venue, consider buying an all-access or industry pass, and schedule time to attend panels, screenings, and networking mixers. Pack business cards, prepare an elevator pitch, and update your professional profiles and website. Festivals aren’t just about watching films—they’re about being seen, being remembered, and being ready for the opportunities that can arise when your name gets out there. Whether you’re walking the red carpet or meeting your future collaborators in the lounge, festival season is your chance to shine.

Exodus Chapter 1 thru 14 Pharaoh's Stubbornness

 

The opening chapters of Exodus (chapters 1–14) tell a powerful story of stubbornness, pride, and ultimately, God's undeniable power. Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, enslaved the Israelites and showed no regard for the suffering he caused. Even when God raised up Moses and Aaron to deliver clear warnings and miraculous signs, Pharaoh's heart remained hard. Despite the Lord's patience and the opportunities given to repent, Pharaoh refused to humble himself, leading Egypt deeper into judgment.

Throughout these chapters, we see God's mercy paired with His justice. Each plague—whether it was blood in the Nile, swarms of frogs, or darkness covering the land—served as both a warning and a chance for Pharaoh to turn from his wickedness. Yet no matter how severe the signs became, Pharaoh continued to defy God's command to let His people go. His pride blinded him, and even when his own people began to suffer greatly, he clung to his rebellion. God's word through Moses and Aaron was clear and consistent, but Pharaoh’s arrogance kept him chained to his own downfall.

In the end, Pharaoh’s stubbornness led to devastating consequences—not only for himself but for the entire nation of Egypt. The final blow came with the death of every firstborn, a tragedy that could have been avoided had Pharaoh heeded God's many warnings. Even then, after releasing the Israelites, Pharaoh pursued them, leading to his army's destruction in the Red Sea. Exodus 1–14 stands as a sobering reminder that ignoring God's voice leads only to ruin, while humility and obedience open the door to true freedom.

Where Are We Headed After the Saturation of The Information and Tech Ages?

We’re living in a time when access to information is no longer a luxury—it’s a flood. The Information Age, once a revolutionary shift that promised open knowledge and global connection, has matured into a noisy, crowded digital landscape. The novelty of instant information has given way to overwhelm, misinformation, and attention fatigue. People are beginning to crave clarity, curation, and depth over endless data. In this saturated environment, the next phase may be less about how much we can know, and more about how well we can filter, interpret, and apply what truly matters.

Similarly, the tech industry—once a gold rush of innovation and disruption—has become increasingly saturated. Startups chase variations of the same ideas, while the giants dominate with incremental updates. Innovation has slowed into optimization. This has sparked a growing skepticism toward tech as a savior, and a hunger for more meaningful, human-centered solutions. People are no longer dazzled by flashy apps or gadgets; they’re asking deeper questions about ethics, sustainability, and long-term impact. The future belongs not to the fastest coder, but to the creator who can blend technology with empathy, intention, and cultural awareness.

What’s coming next may be a kind of “Age of Meaning.” In a world full of tools, data, and platforms, the true value lies in how we use them to elevate human experience. We’re entering an era where emotional intelligence, storytelling, and authenticity matter just as much as code and algorithms. Communities, creatives, educators, and healers are becoming the new architects of value. It’s not about building the next big thing—it’s about building the next right thing. The question is no longer what we can do, but why we should do it. And that shift could redefine everything.

Passive Income Strategies | Explained

 1. Investing in Dividend Stocks and REITs

One of the most common ways to earn passive income is through investments in dividend-paying stocks and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). When you buy shares in a company that regularly distributes dividends, you earn a portion of its profits just for holding the stock. REITs function similarly, offering returns based on rental income and property management profits. These are ideal for people who want to build long-term wealth with moderate risk. Choosing a niche within this strategy—such as tech stocks, utility companies, or healthcare REITs—depends on your interest and risk tolerance. For example, if you’re passionate about technology and understand the industry trends, investing in tech dividend stocks can make your research more effective and your investments more informed.

2. Creating and Selling Digital Products
Another increasingly popular passive income method is creating digital products such as eBooks, online courses, templates, or stock photos. Once the product is created, it can generate income repeatedly with little to no ongoing effort. Platforms like Gumroad, Teachable, or Etsy make it easy to distribute these products worldwide. The key to success is identifying a niche you have expertise or strong interest in—this could be anything from fitness coaching, graphic design, financial literacy, to niche hobbies like bullet journaling. The more targeted your niche, the more you can tailor your content to meet specific audience needs, increasing the likelihood of steady sales.

3. Affiliate Marketing and Niche Blogging
Affiliate marketing involves promoting other companies’ products and earning a commission for each sale made through your referral link. When paired with blogging, YouTube, or social media content, it becomes a powerful form of passive income. For instance, a blog focused on home gardening could include affiliate links for tools, books, or seeds. The trick is choosing a niche where you can consistently produce helpful and engaging content—whether that's tech reviews, beauty products, travel gear, or parenting tips. A well-targeted niche helps build authority, audience trust, and increases the likelihood of conversions, turning content into a reliable income stream over time.

A niche refers to a specific segment of a broader market that caters to a particular group of people with shared interests, needs, or problems. Instead of targeting a general audience, choosing a niche allows you to focus your efforts on serving a clearly defined community—whether it's vegan athletes, new moms, freelance designers, or budget travelers. Niches help you stand out in crowded markets by allowing you to create highly relevant content, products, or services. This focused approach builds stronger audience trust, makes marketing more effective, and increases the chances of long-term success, especially when creating passive income streams.

Passive income is money earned with minimal ongoing effort, typically after an initial investment of time, money, or resources.

Niche passive income is money earned with little ongoing effort by focusing on a specific, targeted audience or interest area. It involves creating products, content, or investments tailored to a niche—like fitness for busy moms or eco-friendly home decor—so you attract a loyal, engaged audience more likely to convert. By narrowing your focus, you increase the chances of consistent sales or returns because your offer directly meets the unique needs of that group.

Allow Me To ReIntroduce Myself - As You Should

What if the world of entertainment who is finding it hard to stay relevant reintroduced their material, content and or music to the world?

With new faces and competition popping 🍾 up, who can compete? I’m not saying reinvent, I’m just implying releasing mastered versions of your content to a new generation. Just like Michael Jackson will always be timeless to every generation, a house hold name.

This can be a beautiful process, something and someone the world can get to know and fall in love 💞 😘 with!

Why I Love 💓 😘 To Write & Why You Should Too

 

When I write or get a spark from a new idea that comes to mind I always know it’s going to be some thing good. Whether it’s a short story or an ebook or novel a movie concept.

I usually start with a long- line or a short summary and then flesh out an outline of the full story. I get excited during this process, they say if you want see something different that’s not out yet , write it! ✍🏾✌🏾👏🏾

Many times I have started to write in my diary or blog about something and the story just unfolds as I’m writing it. Take Love Is Not Enduring or Short Stories With Cecilia Okugo these stories were pouring out of me. Just like my self help book I Fortgot Me.

At times I wonder does this happen to other writers. I am really in zone when I write. Like sequel to Love Is Not Enduring is called Love Lust A Quest For Love. It’s based in Hawaii and the husband Tommy is set to return home in the morning after a long night with a female coworker. They share a kiss.

Bill Gates Microsoft Empire | You Gotta Trust Somebody

 

Whoever said you can't trust anybody clearly overlooked the unwavering loyalty of Microsoft's faithful buyers. For decades, people around the world have consistently chosen Windows as their operating system of choice—at home, in schools, and in the workplace. That level of consistency isn’t just about brand loyalty; it’s about deep trust in the reliability, security, and familiarity of Microsoft products. In a world full of shifting allegiances and fleeting tech trends, the fact that millions still boot up a Windows device every day speaks volumes.

There are two key professionals everyone should keep in their corner: a good lawyer and a good accountant. These are the people who navigate the systems and loopholes, guard your assets, and help you make sense of the fine print. Look at the empire Bill Gates built with Microsoft—while the numbers might be exaggerated in jest (two trillion a year, twenty billion a night), the point is that enormous wealth like that doesn’t get built—or maintained—without a solid legal and financial team. Behind every business titan is a team of sharp minds making sure everything adds up and stays protected.

So yes, eventually, you're going to have to trust somebody. And if you're building anything worthwhile, those people better be your lawyer and your accountant. They’re the ones who can keep you from falling into traps, make sure your taxes are tight, and help you scale your success. As wild as the world can be, some trust is not only necessary—it’s strategic. Truthfully, it's the kind of trust that builds empires. 😭🤣👏🏾
