I don't know how I missed this. This is definitely one of the best SteemChurch posts I read today. You made your points clearly stand out.

The topic you addressed is one that has caused disagreements in many congregations. Wealth is good, but as you said the overly love of money is what is bad. We should be careful when asked to choose between following Jesus or riches. Many of God's servants are rich, but it is rich not to make riches a stumbling block.

The scriptures says we should not be lazy. Let's do some work and make money - that is the right thing to do.
