Finish it!
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
There are a lot of hard-working people who are thankful because some of us can afford these luxury yachts.
I think it is wrong to attack people just because they are wealthy and can afford nice things.
You do know that envy is one of the deadly sins?
