Does God care where you invest?
How should we invest?
If God is the owner of everything then don’t we need to ask what He would like us to do with His money? If we truly want to Serve God by where we invest, should we care about what He cares about? 1 Peter 4:10 says “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms” So this leads 
to a big question: “how can we serve others through our investments?”
According to Peter, we are expected to use all of our gifts. Now if we are fortunate to have a surplus, shouldn’t we consider it a gift and not just invest solely for ourselves but also for the benefit of others? When we follow God’s principles we can funnel God’s love and grace and participate in the blessing of others! How amazing is that?
I believe this involves two main points when we invest:
1) We should desire to make investments that are in line with biblical values and avoid investments that clearly violate Godly principles. With so much evil in this world, many in corporate America promote anti-biblical agendas. As Christians, do we really want to be investing in the abortion, pornography, or gambling industries? Do we want to promote homosexual activism? Do we want to invest in companies producing products that kill or destroy lives or trap people in addictive lifestyles?
2) We should desire to not only only save for our family’s future but also for generations to come. Shouldn’t we be as a Body of Christ, be investing more in the Kingdom? By giving more to Churches, ministries, charities, and organizations making a difference, we can not only spread earthly wealth to the less fortunate, we can also grow eternal wealth that will save lives and souls for His Glory!
Don’t know about you, but talking like this, gets me excited about investing!
