rich people are beyond my fathom. content middle class people are beyond my fathom. There are people dying of hunger right now. There's probably someone being raped right now. How anyone can ever be content, and just live this life worrying about going shopping or whatever, is completely beyond me. Have you no consciene, or not an ounce of compassion in you at all? If you need a vacation to recover sometimes, fine, but our work never ends. Never waste.
I am not christian.

It is how Ayn Rand explains what is money. If you want to find the complete text, google: money speech Ayn Rand.

"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Aconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.

Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?
-
"Or did you say it's the love of money that's the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love its nature. To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It's the person who would sell his soul for a nickel, who is the loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money – and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it.

They know they are able to deserve it. "Let me give you a tip on a clue to men's characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

@inheritthepromises wow, how to pray for money? you, my friend need to read your bible, it talks of trusting in the same God who feeds the birds daily, and clothes the flowers of the field , to give us what we need. Also nowhere in the bible are we promised riches and a good life now, as a matter of fact we are promised a struggle in the now, and a perfect afterlife with God

The topic here was about being rich, not being poor.
-
Not a single comment on where or how to survive for the poor. If Piper cared about the poor he would point them to prayer on how to make money. But he is naive and heartless about poverty andprayer.
