• I am struggling with the thought of how much I should give to the church or for donation. I am already giving 10% of my salary and some donations. Is investing part of my money in the stock market a good idea so I may manage my money wisely, or is the stock market a sort of gambling? Should I give more?
• In a prior question, I was advised to avoid investing in the stock market because I might worry about it daily and it may take my heart away from serving God. Would you advise against stock investment in an employer sponsored 401k as well? Typically, stocks do not get sold and bought daily and in some cases never sold until retirement. Are the interest rates received considered usury?
