Is it Unbiblical to be Financially Successful?

Question: Do you think it is unbiblical to earn a high salary, own a home, have a nice car, and acquire a savings account?

Answer: Certainly not. We read in 1 Timothy 5:8, "If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." Clearly, those responsible for the welfare of their families are obligated to provide for and protect them, which requires that they bring in money from their labors.
