eternal investments



As I watch the news clips for the day, I often wonder what would Peter or Paul's (of the bible) personal economic strategy be? Did they have any investments like gold, a goat, or weapons? I dont know a lot about them but I do know that Acts (book in the bible of what the early church looked like) talks about how they all pulled together, shared and cared for each other. That would be a very interesting thing to see, maybe thats why it worked so well (well= impacting).
This is where I look in the bible to answer my questions about security.

- take nothing...Mark 6:8 (NIV)


-being a good steward 1 Corinthians 4:2 (ASV)


- worry about nothing Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)


-foolishness? 1 Corinthians 1:18-32(NIV)



Is it possible that the only investment they made was an eternal one?   ....matt 6: 19-21. How far should one trust God anyway?
