"...There needs to be a balance. At some point, enough IS enough. I struggle with that myself. If we were honest, we all do. The race for more will kill your spiritual life..."
I couldn't agree more...being in a race for more WILL kill you spiritually. What is that old saying, money isn't evil, it is theLOVE of money that is evil.
That said, I am in full on mode for Capitalism with a capital "C". Capitalism has done more than any charity, church, or government in the history of the world to raise the standard of living and reduce poverty. I don't think Capitalism and Social Good are mutually exclusive.

Please remember that Jesus spent 90% of his life as a middle class small business man.

He spent his last breath making sure that His widowed mother was taken care of.

Meeting our worldly obligations is not a sin.
