BIBLICAL FINANCIAL PRINCIPLES
Matthew 25 Advisors, Inc. is based on the three parables found in Matthew 25. These parables teach us to prepare, invest wisely, and give to the poor.
Prepare
Matthew 25: 1-4 (NIV) - "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
Invest

“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.” - Proverbs 6:6-8 (NIV)
- Set long-term goals
“Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.” - Ephesians 5:15-17 (AMP)
