Wealth: Its Use and Abuse

by Alistair Begg

James 5:5
 (ID: 0573)

Many people assume the Bible teaches that wealth is evil. A careful reading of Scripture, however, reveals that unless we are amassing or using resources inappropriately, money is less a vice to be avoided than a gift to be used and shared. Examining James’s warnings regarding money, Alistair Begg cautions that the real dangers surrounding riches lie in our dependence on wealth over Jesus as our source of confidence.

5fYou have lived on the earth in luxury and gin self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in ha day of slaughter.
