Wealth (Part 2)

Toward a Radically Christian Counterculture
Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg

In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores the Christian view on wealth using the rich young ruler as an example. The Biblical concept of private property and ownership is taught throughout scripture, but stealing and hoarding are forbidden. God tests people with wealth to see if they will use it as instructed and trust Him. It is unwise for Christians to go into great debt or prioritize material possessions over their faith.
