Investing In Your Faith: The Timothy Plan Founder Advises 'Let the Bible Be Your Guide'

Thirty-two years ago, finance expert Art Ally got tired of investing in companies that had a track record of diverting from biblical moral principles. So, he created The Timothy Plan, an investment firm that would screen out companies that pursued "unholy agendas," like abortion, pornography or sex trafficking. And the biblical directive has been profitable... to the tune of nearly $3 billion in the fund. But that's not the first priority. The often-misquoted verse in the Bible, Timothy 6:10, doesn't say money is the root of all evil, but that the "love of money" is the root of all evil. It's a big distinction. It means people of faith should put God first and make decisions about investments that align with God's Word. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Ally speaks frankly about the spiritual warfare going on in the financial world, and that companies like Disney and Target have lost their way morally. They are not even considered as part of a Timothy Plan portfolio. While supporting Israel, as the land of God's chosen people is the basis of their Israel Common Values Fund. Why is it important to care about where your money goes? Ally says, because there's nothing more central to anyone's life than money. And there's nothing more important than glorifying God.
