My Quiet Time:
I find it interesting that in some of the churches I have been a part of in my life, that there are those members who are wealthy and seem to think that because they give a fair chunk of money to the church each month that they should be able to control the church. When something isn't to their liking, they throw an adult temper tantrum and withhold their tithe because they think they can starve the church financially so they can get their way. This is completly unscriptural according to this passage. They are being haughty.
This passage is pretty clear about how the rich are to conduct themselves as Christians. If those in the church who are wealthy would obey and follow this passage they would be a great blessing to the church. But when they get a haughty spirit and begin using their wealth to control the church, then it's time for them to leave and go find a church they can be content in.
