Apostolic Finances for Students

Many passages of Scripture seem to suggest that the accumulation of wealth is evil while being poor is virtuous. It would appear that the Bible condemns the accumulation of wealth. The Biblical perspective of money should present wealth in a different perspective. The Bible distinguishes between possession of wealth and love of wealth. Only the love of money is condemned. A person's attitude towards money and generosity with one's wealth are fundamentally conditions of the heart that have not changed since the ancient world. Regardless of our level of wealth, we are still expected to depend on God and not on money for our spiritual destiny.
