I'm a Believer

By Lee Martin:

I'm a Believer was the title of a song somewhere back in my younger years.  The Beatles I think made it famous.  Today it's a phrase used when you want to be politically correct about your relationship with God.  Those who don't care about politics just go ahead and say, "I'm a Christian".  Dave Ramsey is cool, he just comes right out and says it, "I'm a Christian".

I guess one of the reasons I listened so intently to him was because he was willing up front to make it clear that he was a believer.  He always made it pretty clear that he hadn't always been very smart.  He had done some "stupid things" in his past.  I'm not sure but he might have even done some of those stupid things not too long ago.

There are a lot of people who follow Ramsey and hang on his every word.  What he says has struck a cord with them and they are "Ramsey believers".  What I like about the seminar I attended was that it was made very clear that there would be nothing new told us. Everything we were about to hear we already heard from "God and our grandmother".  If God had already been speaking to you about your finances and if you got one of Daves CD's with his testimony on it and if you listened to it when you got home and if you had half a brain you probably realized that financial freedom and being a "believer" are pretty closely tied together.
