Bible Note: Deb: We see both views in Scripture. Some are and will be poor giving those that are rich an opportunity to obey God's Word to give. In both instances sin may enter in. The poor can chase after riches as their "god" and the rich can worship riches as theirs. It is not sin to be either rich or poor, but it is sin to mishandle anything God gives. Some have the gift of giving, hard to fo if one does not have the riches to give. There is a man that supports my ministry who is very wealthy. His house is maybe 130,000 (which is not big or even average for our area), he has two nice vehciles, he sent his sons and daughters through college...he gives....and yet you would never know he was worth millions upon millions (unless you know his company's stock...which is still going well I may add). |
