Faith And Finances

The culture we live in equates being rich with happiness and fulfillment. Michael Norton is a Harvard Business School professor who has studied the connections between happiness and wealth.   In This Episode, We Look At: Mr. Norton says the research regularly points to two central questions that people ask themselves when determining whether they are satisfied with something in their life: Am I doing better than I was before? and, Am I doing better than other people? If you and I, as Christians, look to money and wealth for fulfilment, we will never find it. Riches do not always equal blessings. Psalm 37:16 "A little that a righteousness man hath is better than the riches of many wicked." Some ungodly people are very rich; don't envy them. Psalm 49:16 "Be thou not afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him."   Resources and Links: Michael Norton's Study, in The Atlantic   Improve
