@Credit Card Chaser. Isn’t giving money away liberating? Of course you have to have money first, but setting a goal like you are talking about will certainly prevent wealth from ever being your goal. Thanks for your thoughts.

@Craig. I love the fact that God has a greater purpose for us and our finances. Wouldn’t life be dismal if we simply worked and lived for the purposes of this world?

You can not love both God & money. You have to make a choice. I’d choose God each and every time.

@Joe. I’ve had this article tagged for a few days, but I’m finally getting over to leave my comment. I wanted to let you know that I love this post! I believe our call as Christians is much (much,much) deeper than simply building wealth. This does not mean wealth is bad, just that God has a greater purpose for us and our finances.

One thing that I have been convicted of lately is to change some of my financial goals from “I want to make X amount of money per year” to “I want to give away X amount of money per year to missions, church, etc.”.

Thanks Peter,
You said it all with these words, “finding true fulfillment can only be found in loving God, and loving others.”
As always, I appreciate your thoughts.

Great post! I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately – and how a high net worth and/or financial success really aren’t good goals to have, but instead finding true fulfillment can only be found in loving God, and loving others.
