The Importance of Financial Integrity

'Money may not be everything, but it is important. Integrity, on the other hand, is everything. And money is a great barometer of people’s integrity. When a lot of money is on the line, people will start to do unexpected things. Money often reveals who we really are.
When it comes to knowing how money works, it’s important to have a great financial education so that you can understand the mechanics of money and how to make it work for you.
But it’s equally important to understand how money can work on you and your soul, and how, if you’re not careful, you can start telling yourself true lies just to make more money. At first, those lies may not hurt anyone but eventually they can hurt a lot of people. That’s why it’s also important to have a great moral education. Because as the Bible says, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” '


 '“It’s just a small fabrication. It won’t hurt anyone, and it will help me get ahead.” They believe that it’s OK to lie for financial gain.
The problem with lies is that eventually, when repeated enough, they become true lies. And when lies become true lies, they lay the foundation for even bigger lies down the road. Before you know it, you’ve lost your integrity.'

Think about the Enron , Satyam scams. Think about the frauds comitted by major banking services to increase their financial gain by manipulating the numbers and bribing the authorities and how there are legal suites against them now.

Truly , Money is not bad. But as the Bible says, "The love of money is the root of all evil".

Serve God and let money serve you and not the otherway around.
