Ambition and Wealth: How Much is too Much?

[@mwhabs]

“Thinking that the standard moves up with us” so much to ponder there… thank you COA! 🙏

Thank you for this video and for your other videos! I always learn from listening to this KZbin channel. I am a Catholic and love the Coptic orthodox theology you share. Your videos make a difference in my life. God bless🙏🏼

A quick summary for those who don't have time to watch the video: - Abraham didn't care about whether he got the water-filled valleys of sodom when he departed with Lot because he put God first and took the second option. - Godly ambition is the desire to grow in wisdom and faith as a Christian - St Anthony the great was ambitious to become perfect and "went from the homes of the elders and learned from them like a bee collects pollen." - St Anthony also "poured any financial excess he earned into his sister", as he only wanted excess in the kingdom of God. - We must not make excuses for ourselves to act as godless people do "just for the extra digit in our bank accounts", Instead, we should remain loyal to our beliefs and not let them be influenced by worldly circumstances. - Excess in worldly possessions, such as buying a Bugatti and a Rolex to show off to others, is entirely sinful. May the Lord grant us all to live like this, Amen.
