Somehow the things we own have become an expression of who we are and what we value. Even in the early years of school, wearing the right labels has become important. As we get older it is the car we drive or the home we own. The saying "he who dies with the most toys, wins" has become a mantra.

Many of us have a deep, personal faith that is the most important value we hold in our lives, and our style exemplifies that faith in many, many ways. From a cross on a chain around our neck to a bumper sticker on our car, however we are able to express our faith is important. That faith can permeate every aspect of our lives, and we can even use our checks to show everyone who cares to look just how complete our faith is.

We use checks to pay for everything from groceries to our power bills, and those checks are just as representative of who we are as anything else we show to the world. Banks will issue standard checks to us, and while those are perfectly functional, they are simple, basic checks. With the advent of being able to have custom checks made, there's no reason in the world we can't have those checks show others just how important our faith is too.

And the best part of this is the fact that more often than not, having those custom checks made is actually going to save us money. To compete with the many ways of ordering checks, companies are offering sales and discounts for ordering personalized checks. This gives us a golden opportunity to spread the Word in ways we may never have considered.

From your favorite verse to an inspiration picture to a simple cross, there are many ways of customizing your checks that will impact those who receive them. Instead of merely looking at the numbers on the check, seeing the dollar amount its worth, those symbols and verses can reach past the day-to-day mendacities of a payment transaction and cause someone to inquire about why the check is what it is.

The ability to express our faith with everyone who comes into contact with that check is now a possibility. While most people will simply ignore the message there, some will be motivated, and all based on your desire to show others your faith through a customized check. Not only can you save money with custom checks, but you will be sharing something worth a whole lot more.
