Anglican bishop N.T. Wright contends, “Never before have so many people tripped over one another in their eagerness to get rich and thereby impaled themselves on the consequences of their own greed.”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having more money, being able to pay off debt and meeting reasonable financial obligations. The Bible doesn’t have a low view of money; neither does it have as high a view of it as we do.

The Bible would simply tell us this: if you look to money as the big fix, you will be disappointed. Why? Because it’s not eternal and you were made for eternity.
