Currently reading Neither Poverty nor Riches by Craig Blomberg.
Will share snippets and reflections as I go.
Summary points from the final chapter (I’m quoting):
1. Material possessions are a good gift from God meant for his people to enjoy.
2. Material possessions are simultaneously one of the primary means of turning human hearts away from God.
3. A necessary sign of a life in the process of being redeemed is that of transformation in the area of stewardship.
4. There are certain extremes of wealth and poverty which are in and of themselves intolerable.
5. Above all, the Bible’s teaching about material possessions is inextricably intertwined with more ‘spiritual’ matters.
