james 2:1-7

Being rich puts us at a great disadvantage. Francis Chan also talked about this--compared to people in Third World countries, we are all filthy rich. We have so many things that distract us from God. Although we may look down on the poor and think them inferior, they can be much more rich in faith because they are not caught up in material possessions. Indeed, it is often the poor man who is humble in character and loves God--He will inherit God's kingdom.
