Some Christians believe that money and wealth is a form of evil and corruption. I believe to the contrary that money and wealth can very easily corrupt you, but it is not evil. Money and wealthy can cause us to be arrogant. Wealthy people are easily deceived into thinking that they created their wealth on their own. This in turn leads to an attitude of arrogance and superiority. Some people are being deceived into believing that it provides real security in their lives. Some believe that they are powerful, and you now have all what you need. This causes people not to be able to see your need for God. Therefore, wealth creates the belief that you are sufficient and have no need for God.
