Is it wrong to pursue wealth? I have heard many people say that the pursuit of wealth is worldly and wrong. The Holy Bible tells us that man cannot serve two master - God and mamon (money). This should be our first clue to answering this question.
God created a magnificent world, with wonderful resources for us to enjoy. He created gold and silver and gemstones. The problem arises when we look for these emblems of wealth simply to possess them. When we allow the desire for wealth to master us, we have allowed a serious problem to enter our lives.
Jesus told us to seek first the Kingdom of Heaven. This should be our first priority in life. It is our duty and obligation to seek a close, deep relationship with the creator and not the creation. Our first goal should be to establish ourselve firmly under the guidance of God's Holy Spirit. Let nothing of this world master us but let us master all things of this world.
The importance of Spiritual development should be at the top of our "to do" list.
I sincerely believe that each and every one of us has a purpose in life. That purpose is to learn to be His children. Throughout the Scripture we see God wanting to bless His people, His beloved creation. It is not wrong for us to pursue wealth. Just as we gather stones and wood and sand to build things, gathering wealth is fine as long as we are gathering it to use and build things to God's glory, not our own.
We are placed on this physical world to live in it but not to be of it. Just as God blessed David and Solomon, He wants to bless us. I believe that when we are spiritually mature enough to handle the things of this world, we will be good stewards of the things of this world.
As long as we look at wealth with a healthy spiritual attitude, we can master it and we can avoid it becoming our master. I believe that God wants each of us to develop and mature in His love so that we can develop and mature in our stewardship of the things of this world with which He blesses us. |

Key Note
Before you can hope to be successful in any business, you have to understand that business and know how to peak the interest of your potential customers. Whether you are offering a product or a service, people have to understand what it is, why they need it and why they should get it from you. Online marketing has changed the way people do business and unless you can embrace the knowledge needed to meet these changes, your success will be limited to those customers willing to deal with you in the same old way. Internet marketing takes a completely different approach because people who conduct business online, search for companies with which to do business online, and you need to be found. After attending the University of Texas, Arlington, Texas - Matt Morris saw the future in the internet and worked diligently to become fully knowledgeable in internet marketing. His determination led to not only financial success, but also to being somewhat of an expert in marketing on the internet. (Matt made over $4 million in just a few short years in the internet.) As a Marine corps Sergeant, he understood the need to lead others and to provide the proper training to help make his fellow Marines a success. Combining his knowledge of internet marketing and his passion for helping others succeed led him to establish one of the fastest growing online distance learning organizations on the internet today. He understood that without the proper training, both spiritual and temporal, no one could move above mediocrity. While he enjoyed personal growth at two network marketing companies, he believed he could help others attain their personal goals by sharing what he had learned. Joining with other leaders in the market, sales and technical field, this new online university provides the training essential for just about anyone to achieve success. Distance learning has grown exponentially over the past few years, with major accredited colleges and universities understanding many people want to improve their knowledge but do not have the time to attend traditional classes. Additionally, some educational resources are not appropriate in a classroom setting since people learn at a different rate and not everyone needs to learn or know everything that is being taught in each lesson. An online business learning experience teaches what you need to know about running an online business and what better venue in which to learn but online. If your business is online, great training opportunities are available online and your future success is online. There us no better combination to help you achieve financial security than attending distance learning classes that focus on business education. Learn More Success University
