Drawing on Solomon’s teaching, Pastor Ben describes six outcomes when money occupies the heart: oppression of the poor, money becoming the object of love, strained relationships, loss of sleep, wealth’s instability through loss or death, and suffocated joy. He contrasts this with the “good and fitting” way of handling wealth as God’s gift: enjoying food and drink, accepting one’s lot with contentment, reducing worry by trusting God, and stewarding resources without obsession. He offers applications (enjoy gifts, cultivate good, live below means, stop fixating), and highlights a financial curriculum by late Pastor Andy Wallin.
