Then he wrote one word to describe it all: meaningless.
The book of Ecclesiastes is the most financially honest book in the Bible — and the one most pastors skip. It doesn't fit the prosperity sermon. It doesn't support "follow God's principles and get rich." It says the opposite.
But hidden inside that brutal honesty are five financial principles more relevant today than when they were written 3,000 years ago.
The 5 Principles:
▸ PRINCIPLE 1: Wealth never satisfies — the hedonic treadmill, described 3,000 years early
▸ PRINCIPLE 2: Diversify your investments — "give portions to seven, yes to eight"
▸ PRINCIPLE 3: Workaholism is vanity — one handful with peace beats two with exhaustion
▸ PRINCIPLE 4: Enjoy what you have now — the most surprising financial advice in the Bible
▸ PRINCIPLE 5: Fear God and keep his commandments — everything else is vapor
If you've ever been sold a "biblical wealth code," this book is the antidote.
