What if circumstances are such that not taking a risk will result in loss and injury? In that situation, it may not be wise to play it safe. What if the successful outcome of a risky situation would bring great benefit to many people and its failure would bring harm only to yourself? Then what would love do? It may not be loving to choose the comfort of security when something great may be achieved for the cause of God and for the good of others.

When we invest as God’s steward, we flip conventional investing goals on their head, paving the way for alternative, additional goals. Investors are able to facilitate eternal impact such as community reconciliation, restoring and improving the environment through sustainable agriculture, and providing resources for people who follow Christ to make Him known among unreached people groups. In the eyes of God, those returns are anything but nominal. They are literally life-changing.
