John Bradshaw - Not a Christian Virtue
When Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, he was writing to people who had recently come out of heathenism, but the council he gave then still applies today. In Ephesians 4:28, he wrote, "Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need".
Don't steal or to be obvious but notice he said that a person should work, so they have something to give to those in need. Accumulating money just for the sake of it isn't a Christian virtue; dedicating what you have to the advancement of God's work, and the betterment of others is what Christianity is about; it's a blessing to be able to think beyond yourself.
Maybe there's someone in need that you could bless today; God has given to you he entrusts that to you, so you can then in some way give to others. I'm John Bradshaw for It Is Written.
