Some Christians don’t save for retirement because they believe it’s disobedient (usually quoting Matt. 6:19–20), or they feel guilty about putting money away when others are in such great need. Others believe it isn’t necessary because God will take care of them (Isa. 46:4). And some would like to save but spend everything they make (Prov. 13:18). ...
It would be easy to think of saving as a purely selfish activity. That can indeed be the case—we need only read about the rich fool in Luke 12—but it doesn’t have to be. Saving honors God because it rightly values money as a gift that he has given to us (James 1:16–17). Instead of unplanned, impulsive, or foolish spending, wise saving demonstrates ...
We all tend to put things off. But by failing to save early, you forfeit one of the most potent financial forces: tax-free compound interest, or earning interest on interest. Most people don’t postpone saving because they think saving is unimportant. Instead, they expect to have more disposable income down the road, or they have more pressing needs...
The Bible isn’t silent about debt. There obviously weren’t Visa cards or auto loans in Jesus’s time, but lending and borrowing were part of the economic landscape. The Bible doesn’t strictly prohibit debt, but it does characterize debt as a form of bondage (Prov. 22:7). Beyond that, there is a direct correlation between over-spending and too much d...

Such speculating amounts to gambling on future events, and most of the time you lose more than you gain (Prov. 28:19; 1 Tim. 6:10). Investing is actually commended if done wisely. It’s about putting money into real businesses that employ people and...
We can be tempted to save for wrong reasons—out of fear and greed or a desire for independence from God and others. If you save out of fear, then you aren’t trusting God (1 Tim. 6:17). If you do it out of greed, you’ve missed the whole point (Prov. 1:19; Mark 8:36; Luke 12:15). And once you’ve acquired some wealth, you don’t want to become like the...
Finding the right balance is the key. On the one hand, we need to set aside something and invest it wisely for future needs. On the other, we want to be generous and remain dependent on God, recognizing that he is the source of our provision and alone controls the future. Whatever we decide, it must be out of a heart of gratitude to God for his kin...

There is no biblical dissonance between allocating most financial resources via markets with a price (interest rates) as intended by God in his creation design, and also sharing some financial resources freely (zero interest rates) with family or the poor.
