Interesting article, although there is a good bit of “man’s advice” in there, rather than good scriptual basis. What I find interesting, and perhaps a bit cynical, is that often “religious leaders” tend to want to promote a system where you should also include “estate planning” for churches, ministries, etc. There is absolutely no mention of this philosophy or instruction or requirement in Scripture.

The time to do that is with resources while one is still alive. I also do not agree with his thoughts on a subjective amount to leave, based on how one would plan to spend the money. Again, no basis of scripture. In fact, we are commanded to “tithe” to the church and leave the final “spending” to the church leadership. We ought not to limit God’s plan and use of an inheritance this way. I can tell you in my own life I’ve had lots of money and a little money and God has been effective in my life both ways

Bart,
Thanks. I obviously don’t have all of the answers, but if the post makes you think about what you are doing for your children, it has succeeded.
