“But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?” 1Jo.3
I can think of a number of reasons why God would give His children an overabundance of material blessings and surely none of them have anything to do with hoarding or living lavishly. Jesus actually encourages us to give even when we might have to sacrifice to do so. How much more would God expect His children to share wealth when we have it, especially with so many who are in need? Conversations Within” ts 5/28/2015
