Many Christians ask if it is Biblical to contract and/or employ professionals to help manage their affairs.  There are many aspects to consider here, especially when dealing with Christian financial management.  Although this issue can become complicated due to the intricacies of life and business, there are four basic Biblical principles that believers should consider when seeking outside help to manage their affairs: Wisdom, Financial righteousness, Christian relationships, Honesty & trust.

 

Although forms of insurance, including life insurance and whether a Christian should purchase insurance aren’t specifically addressed in scripture, there are many aspects that believers should examine when making such decisions.

For starters, Christians are encouraged to have their own convictions and for all believers to respect the convictions of others (Rom 14:5, 12-13, 22-33).  It is incumbent upon each of us to examine God’s word and draw our own conclusions based on the intentions of our hearts.
