Three Rules for Building Wealth

Today we watched an excellent video message by founding and lead pastor of Lifechurch.tv Craig Groeschel on saving and investing. Here's his three rules of investing wisely:

1. Don't invest in things you don't understand. Proverbs 24:3-4 says "By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures." NIV

2. Don't put all your eggs into one basket. Ecclesiastes 11:2 says "Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land." NIV

3. Don't try to get rich quick. Proverbs 13:11 says "Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time." NLT

Read any book on investing and it will only tell you exactly what the Bible has said all along! And remember: You don't benefit from the parts of Scripture you read, only the ones you apply!
