Don't know if you were referring to my original post, but it is no joke. But a very sincere question.
Everyone has the right to enjoy the fruits of the labors--clearly. But everyone also has stewardship of those fruits. So when is too much, too much? When should we as saints put millions into a scholarship fund for other people to enjoy, rather than build a ultra-luxurious vacation home.
Is it okay to stockpile wealth to ensure a lavish retirement rather than help our fellow man?
And how does this all play into coveting and possibly the whole idea around a united order?
