Wealth is not inherently evil, but the pride that comes with claiming it’s our ethical obligation to build it so we can shape the world according to our values is dangerous. It also excludes other vocations where good work may not result in financial rewards.
The Bible warns against this mindset:
• Deut 8:17-18
• 1 Tim 6:6-10, 17-19
• Prov 30:8-9
• Matt 6:24
• Luke 12:15
