    be careful with this one because the types of people this applies to will just twist its meaning into “people need to own less/nothing. Minimum wage is too high. The Bible says having enough money to survive is bad”

      I heard this preached at church a few weeks ago, the gist of it was, that Jesus knew how important being rich was to the man and until he let go of that, he could never let Love fully into his life
