Hello fellow believers ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Having studied the subject of finances in general over the past few years, I'd like to talk to some of you guys on Christians and money.
I hope to have an openhearted discussion with room for all points of views - and who knows - maybe some of us will end up wiser from reading through this thread ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
Things to be discussed could be (but not limited to):
* Is it right for Christians to strive for wealth?
* Does God want His people to be rich?
* What example did Jesus set?
* Does the Bible provide guidelines on money management?
* How come books and tapes with teaching on finances sells like hot cakes in Christian bookshops?
* Why does that not seem to have much effect?
* How about debts? Are they good, bad or either?
* Should some of our income be set aside for investing - and in what?
* What about tithes and offerings?
* Could financial intelligence be a means of evangelism?
Whereas I obviously have my points of view - I'll keep them to myself for now - and enter this discussion with an open mind.
I hope to have stirred your interest up a bit - and PLEASE - let's have your input. Any point of view is welcome.
