Get rich all you want. That's not the point. Be sure you know what the point is... unless you're confident you can fool God.


Very true - also we know, actions speak louder than words.


I see.

Sell everything "in your heart and spirit", yes, meaning that your only treasure is Christ. You're not tied spiritually and emotionally to materialistic things anymore.

Then sell literally everything, not necessarily : it depends on what God (I said God/Holy Spirit and his voice, not humans) tells you.

Some evangelists sold everything because they had a call in foreign countries.

Some christians do good for the Gospel being financially rich. If the money isn't their master and keep Christ their pearl, then it's ok. Joanna, Chouza's wife in the New Testament was a wealthy woman and she was doing good for the Kingdom (Luke 8:3).

When a parent has a child, he can be rich but will say when the kid is sick : I would give away my fortune if it's the way to buy a cure. This means that what's counting most is the kid, not the money.
