"For those of you new to Free Money Finance, I post on The Bible and Money every Sunday. Here's why. The following is an excerpt from Dollars and Doctrine. This excerpt and the one last week deal with what the author calls the two extremes of how Christians view money. He starts off the comparison with this: 'When approaching prosperity as a whole, many Christians take one of two extremes: Either prosperity is evidence of Godliness, or it is evidence of worldliness, selfishness, and sin. Neither view is Biblical, and both contain colossal errors when standing next to the truths of scripture. For most, these philosophies are not quite so blatant, but their subtle undertones shape many Christians’ thoughts and actions towards money.'"
