Barry,

Just thinking out loud.

Hypothesis: A good steward will use the minimum amount of risk to obtain their financial goals.

Decision Process:

1. What are your financial goals?

2. Would Christ approve of these goals?

3. What is the minimum amount of risk necessary to accomplish these goals

4. Can you afford to take this risk? (Eccl. 5:14) Are you risking your families' food, clothes, shelter, education, or retirement?

5. Are you knowledgeable enough to take this risk? (Proverbs 24:3-4) Do you completely understand this investment vehicle? Do you understand this market and investment?

6. Have you taken the time to think it through? (Psalm 37:7)

7. Have you taken the advice of Solomon and diversified your risk? (Eccl. 11:2)

8. Would Christ approve the risk you are about to take?

9. Would Christ approve of the time and energy you are about to spend on this effort? (Proverbs 23: 4-5)

I sometimes think Christians make easy suckers. We may live by faith, but we should invest based upon wisdom and knowledge.

Would you suggest any changes or additions or is the hypothesis flawed?
