"Well, essentially Tony's book about "Rich Christians" uses Scripture (incorrectly, I might add) to "guilt" Christians with money into "sharing" because they obviously have "too much."

Well, one WOULD hope that anyone who professes to be a Christian would generously share all that God has blessed him with. Not in a forced, communistic way, but cheerfully and voluntarily, out of a love for Jesus and the human beings that He died for.

Anyone who claims to be Christian and does not help others because they are in love with their own wallet has some serious problems to work out with his/her Lord.

Be careful what you heard me write. I didn't say (nor does Chilton) that Christians are not be generous and sharing. But what does the Bible say about who to help and why? I would highly recommend Chilton's book to you. Believe me, he is not a "health and wealth" type (if you understand that term).
