Is Wealth a Problem?

Jesus tells us that unless we give up all our possessions, we not be disciples of his. Greg boyd says to the poor, rejoice. You have got an advantage that the wealthy will never know. It's arriving at the spiritual retreat with nothing, having nothing when you're there, and lev with nothing afterward. Nothing will be prided from your desperate grasp, because your hands are open, hungry, expectant, waiting for god for every little thing.
