Tonight I went to a fund raiser for the training program I'm involved with at my church. I'm astonished at the wealth of parishoners at my church. Many of them are millionaires.
I have a problem with that. It seems anti-gospel to me, to be a Christian and wealthy.
Then again, it's easy for me to say that. My very mouth is being fed by these wealthy people, who generously support this training program, and who pay my monthly stipend.
In addition to that, my earthly father's riches are also sustaining me. They have done so since the day of my birth.
So, while I have an idealistic, theological problem with Christian wealth, pragmatism, realism, and practicality of everyday life dictates otherwise.
