Investing in the present age...

Many people today have found out how fragile the economy can be.

Paul’s letter to Timothy contains some great wisdom for us in the light of an economy that’s barely staggering to stay upright. He wrote…

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way, they will lay up treasures for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

If you’ve lost 40% of your wealth in the stock market, perhaps you were investing it in the wrong things…

Put your hope in God, do good, and be willing to share. These are the investments that will outlast the present age, and bring eternal returns.
