Income inequality # 2
September 20, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money.
M Income inequality is a common news topic today. Danger: it promotes a ‘haves versus the have nots,’ unhealthy comparison AND not a biblical one. It prompts conflict, even judging people we don’t know.
V Scripture emphasizes that our worth is not measured by our wealth. The parable of the rich man showed that hoarding and storing for tomorrow without gratitude to God is a bad thing. Luke 12. Hebrews 11 lists godly people as our examples. None are named for their wealth, rather their Spiritual courage.
M Whether poor by this country’s measure, or materially wealthy, the true pearl of great price, the greatest value, is to be a Christ follower. That’s worth sacrificing everything to gain.
