Let’s teach our children to gamble, yeah that’s a great game plan. Women rightfully should be cautious, because they are making life changing decisions not only for themselves , but their children and family.

We shouldn’t teach them wisdom, timeless wisdom based upon centuries of proven success.

It’s all about “empowerment”, ie making money.

We are taught the wisdom of, Lord may I be granted enough money such that I don’t steal, but not so much that I’m filled with pride thinking it’s all me.

How about, learning to be grateful for all the blessings we currently have?

How about turning away from envy?

See, just a few quick Bible lessons show how utterly stupid these ideas are, though clearly popular.

One leads to a bit of heaven on earth, the other to a living hell. Unlike stock picks, results seldom vary.
