Line 1: − − ==Biblical View of Wealth== − − [[Jesus]] unambiguously condemned a person giving their heart to the accumulation of wealth and the worship of money on several occasions: − − "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24) − − "No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one or love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth" (Luke 16:13). − − "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasurer is, there your heart will be also." − Matthew 6:19-20 − − "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." (Mark 10:21) − [[category:Jesus]]
