 Have you noticed lately that rich people are always portrayed and perceived as evil? Granted, there are wealthy people who are evil, but the same can be said of people of any financial standing. But there's this idea that prosperity is evil unto itself. Now, biblically speaking, we understand that the Gospel is not about wealth acquisition. God doesn't promise that every believer will be a millionaire and we don't serve God for material gain. That would be a distortion of the Gospel. But we have to keep a biblically balanced perspective. The Bible does condemn the love of money, but also teaches us that wealth, if kept in its proper place, can be used to advance the kingdom of God. Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. Bottom line, it's not a sin to have wealth as long as wealth doesn't have you.
