• Some Christians worry about not having enough money on a daily basis.
• Money and possessions are needed in order to have a basic standard of living.
• Christians cannot rely on God’s providence in a world of poverty and strife.
• Media encourages consumerism and as a result Christians are tempted.
• Christians are human and human nature is weak and sinful.
• Society is corrupt and Christians feel they need to have wealth to succeed.
• Some believe that wealth and possessions will make them happy.
• Christians have to survive in a consumer society and so they need to earn sufficient money to live.
• There is nothing wrong in wanting some of the luxuries of life provided you have worked hard for them.
On the other hand:
• There are many Christians who are not selfi sh and self-centred.
• There is nothing wrong in desiring wealth and possessions provided the desire is controlled.
• Many Christians give generously to good causes.
• Through daily devotions to God Christians are focusing on God rather than on material things.
• They are more concerned about meeting the needs of their families.
• The teachings of Jesus stress that wealth is not needed to receive eternal life.
