I have an article today at TGC on Christianity and the relationship between rich and poor:
Healing the relational estrangement between rich and poor is one of the most central elements of Christian living. James points to “partiality” among economic classes as a quality that demonstrates unbelief and leads to perdition (James 2). Paul identifies “contentment” with your economic position as a way of life that distinguishes true believers from false teachers (1 Timothy 6:3-10).
Check out the comment thread, where I’m accused of something (it’s not quite clear what) involving atheism and mind control.
Thank you so much for your article and your blog. More often than not, your perspective helps me understand and firm up the belief system I already have. Praying for you brother, as you weed through accusatory replies from some who, after a little google search, appear to be serial arguers :).
Thanks for the encouragement! Being something of a serial arguer myself, I am 1) not well positioned to sit in judgment on my interlocutors, but 2) well equipped to hold my own against them. 🙂
