In this video, Bob Katz presents investing wisdom from King Solomon, and subsequently proven by a major modern university study.  Ecclesiastes 11:2 says, "Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth."

In this scripture and study we see wisdom that points to a specific strategy for investing that with which you have been entrusted.

Taken to a next step, Bob Katz talks about dividing your financial holdings into 7 portions, which includes:

• Large Cap US Stocks
• Small Cap US Stocks
• Non US Stocks
• Commodities and Natural Resources
• Real Estates Trust (REIT)
• Intermediate Bonds
• Cash

Remember, you are responsible for handling the resources with which you have been entrusted, so do your own research, as this is not meant to be specific financial advice - but rather, a perspective from which to unlock your destiny.

In this discussion, G. Edward Reid, attorney, financial planner and pastor, lays out seven Biblical principles for managing money.  As you watch this video, pay special attention to the Biblical perspective that strongly supports his thesis.  You will learn that proper money management with a Christian worldview requires a properly oriented way of thinking and acting as regards money. 

These seven principles are a great place to start, and includes understanding that:

1. God owns everything.
2. We are managers of God's possessions.
3. Your purpose in life is to Glorify God.
4. Prosperity is defined as having what you need when you need it.
5. Debt is bad.
6. The tithe is the minimum testimony of partnership with God.
7. We must all eventually give account to God for our actions, including our financial decisions.
