The Importance of Money
The Importance of Money by Foster Hibbard
When I hear people playing down the importance of money, calling it evil and sinful, I remember some of the Sunday morning sermons that I have heard over the years. The ministers would expound on poverty as a
virtue; about God obviously loving the poor because He made so many of them.
Why is God always blamed for everything that goes wrong? Why should there be virtue in a lack of any kind? Nature is totally abundant and, since we are a part of nature, why shouldn't we be a part of that abundance?
There is no virtue in lack of any kind. How can lack of love, lack of health, lack of career success or lack of money be called virtuous?
If poverty were a virtue, no churches would be built, no colleges endowed nor would any charities be supported. To the degree that we become ever more affluent, are we able to do good works within our society. Aspire to prosperity, commit to prosperity and always work toward a more prosperous and happy life.
