Book Introduction
God's Winning Investment for Christians
How Christians Can Resist the World's Economic Principles!
Why a Pastor Wrote a Book on Investing
“Why can’t we talk about ‘money’ in church?”
‘Money’ is a topic that concerns modern people the most and is inseparable from their lives.
But in church, it feels awkward to bring up money-related topics.
Because pursuing money feels worldly and sinful.
So we see the saints struggling.
Those who regard material things as 'Mammon' that opposes God and unconditionally avoid them; those who wonder if Christians can invest in a world where everyone is rushing into financial investment; those who start investing but suffer losses and feel guilty; those who want to build a family of faith but are daunted by the costs of marriage and childcare... As a pastor, the author felt a responsibility to answer these important questions.
The author, who graduated from a business school and worked in the finance department of a large corporation, presents the "most practical and biblical" financial management method that a pastor can use.
These are the criteria that Christians must remember in all economic concerns and moments of choice they face as they live in the world, such as factors to consider before God when making investment decisions, such as stocks, coins, real estate, loans, second jobs, and FIRE tribe, ways to resolve spiritual guilt, and faith to overcome financial failure and frustration.
Part 1.
In "Basics," we examine the tricks of the world's economic logic and the investment methods of disciples that Christian investors should follow.
Part 2.
In the "Practical Edition," we provide practical guidance on what to own first, how to own it, and what the location and direction should be based on.
At the end of each chapter, you can summarize the content through 'Christian Investment Notes'.

Into the book
A brother who was investing in stocks confessed during a meeting.
“Pastor, may I see your account?” He confessed that he had lost close to 80% of his investment.
When I was in shock and didn't know what to say, the butler next to me comforted me and answered.
"cheer up.
are you okay.
Me too - 40%.”
---From "Why the Pastor Wrote About Investment"
Isn't life too fragmented? The idea that you can try anything and everything for money isn't biblical at all, nor is it a suitable mindset for investment.
I must first consider the gifts and circumstances God has given me.
And I think I should do one thing many times for a long time, centering on the calling that was given to me.
You have to think about digging into one thing specifically and deeply.
Eliminating unnecessary diversity is a way to go against the culture of this era.
---From "The Illusion of Economic Freedom"
Why do I overspend on limited-edition items, expensive items, and other things that others can't afford, just for the sake of present benefits? It's because I view my current situation so direly.
Because I am not satisfied.
God's investors must believe that the life God has given us today is the most blessed.
And we must enjoy the benefits and satisfaction of living life before God.
---From "The Farther Away We Are from Money, the Closer We Will Be to God"
"You lost 10 million won in an instant? You started investing because you thought you didn't have enough money. Think again."
“Who provided the ten million won you lost in an instant before you even invested it?”
---From "What should I do with my lost account?"
On this earth, others may judge my life as worthless, but the Lord judges my life as worth living.
If the value of this land is subjective, then I should no longer consider the values assessed by those around me, or the values I myself view in my life, as absolute.
I can make a commitment to follow His love, which values my life to the point of killing my son, and to do what He wants until the end.
---From "Understanding the Changes in Value"
…when God initiates something in our lives, He first allows us to ‘own’ it.
In other words, it makes me certain that it is something that God has given me.
From there, God begins to expand the promises He has given us.
---From "What Should I Own First?"
I start spending money elsewhere because I don't think I'll get married right away, and I won't be able to buy a house right away.
Some people spend a lot of money on trips lasting from several weeks to several months, and some buy cars for the convenience of their lives.
But keep in mind:
Your home should be your first priority when it comes to investing in large amounts.
No matter how small the house is, securing a place to live is the priority.
In fact, there are numerous reports that helping people own their own homes has a positive impact on all areas of their lives.
---From "What Should I Own First?"
Where does God want me to invest? You're asking the wrong question.
Because it's about finding investment opportunities outside.
Rather, we should ask this:
“Where does God invest?” God invests in me.
When I say that my entire life is an investment, I mean that God is already leading me at every moment of my life so that I can reap the good fruit He intended.
---From "Where Will God Invest?"
All social structures of our time are making marriage and raising children increasingly difficult.
And they also consider marriage and children as unnecessary.
That's a phenomenon of the times.
So, should we simply abandon these values, even though they are values God values, because they are social phenomena? Rather, we need to strategically review our life's investment structure from a young age.
(…) The distance between the house and the church I will be attending must also be taken into consideration.
And make sure you have friends and family close by who can share your life with you.
There is no investment in life more important than this.

Part 1.
In the "Basics" section, we examine the tricks of the world's economic logic and the investment methods of disciples that Christian investors should follow.
Part 2.
In the “Practical Edition,” we provide detailed information closely related to daily life, such as what to own first, how to own it, and what the location and direction should be based on.
At the end of each chapter, you can summarize the content through 'Christian Investment Notes'.
Investing is a matter of 'righteousness', 'forgiveness of sins', and 'identity' as spoken of in the Bible.
God uses economic methods on this earth
You have revealed the value of love!
Does the Bible condemn investing and trading? No.
Rather, in the Parable of the Talents and the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19, God says, “Engage in business.”
Because only humans can trade, and greater profits and pleasure are created through the process of buying and selling.
So what about God's dealings? God reveals his love for us in economic ways.
He who never makes a losing trade exchanged his only son for us sinners.
He loves us so much that He values us so highly.
Although Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, Jesus did not reject it, but rather created the value of restoration through resurrection and salvation.
When we realize how valuable we are, we can trust that God is in charge of our financial affairs and that He is creating spiritual work within them.
We can trust that God will fill in our other obstacles and shortcomings and restore us in different ways.
I'm curious about Christian financial management!
- Is it always bad for Christians to seek economic gain through investments like stocks and coins?
- Side hustles like blogs and online stores are all the rage. Can Christians also make extra money through side hustles?
- I am losing money on my investments and I feel guilty before God.
Can I ask God for healing?
- It's impossible to get a home without a loan. Is a loan unbiblical? How much can I borrow?
- Is it bad to reward myself for my hard work with travel, delicious food, etc.?
