What Are You Investing In?

Reflections from the Heart of Allan Redenius
Let me share some words of wisdom regarding investing your money.  
 

• A lot of people are always looking for a way to get rich quickly.  Did you know that baseball players who always swing for the home run have the lowest batting averages?   
• If you're thinking of going into a partnership, let me give you these words of advice.  Partnerships are generally bad boats to sail in.  
• Before you make an investment, always consider your exit strategy.  As an example, if you buy a bar of gold or silver, who are you going to sell it to when you want to convert it to cash?
• Cash is always king.
• Don't put all your eggs in one basket.  On the other hand, a long time ago, a lady gave me a cute, little plaque with this inscription.  “I put all my eggs in one basket.  Then I gave it to God.”  That’s great advice!
•  If you have any money, there is always a huckster out there who will try to bamboozle you out of it.
• When you're saving for retirement, consider how long you're going to live.
• If you have a mortgage on your house, pay it off as fast as you can.  

 
In the financial world, the most frequently asked question is, “Where should I invest my money?”  I would tell you to invest in God's Kingdom where rust will not destroy, moth does not eat, and thieves do not steal.  How can you go wrong with something that will last forever? 
 
I knew in my opening comment regarding wisdom and money, you would read the entirety of this reflection.  That hook brought you to this place.  So let me ask you one more piercing question.  What good is your money if you are not saved?
 
Love in Christ,
Pastor Allan
