Amos 6:1a, 4-7; Luke 16:19-31
“If having a lot for ourselves is worth the misery and death of others, the Bible is crystal clear—we’ve got a problem. If having wealth sequesters us from the realities of suffering and injustice in the world, then we’ve got a problem. If wealth waters down our commitment to equity and economic justice, then we’ve got a problem.”
