What the Bible Says About Money That Most Pastors Are Too Afraid to Preach.

Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God — and the comfortable explanation about a small gate in Jerusalem that you have probably heard does not appear anywhere in the historical record until the eleventh century. He meant it as an impossibility. That is the kind of verse most pastors soften before Sunday morning ends. In this video, we go through nine passages on money that rarely get preached in full: the three separate tithes of the Old Testament, the Year of Jubilee and its direct connection to Jesus's first public sermon, James's warning to believers who hoarded wealth, five scriptures condemning interest on loans to the poor, Amos confronting a prosperous nation God called disgusting, the early church's radical economic life in Acts, and the widow's mite read in the context Luke actually placed it in — not a fundraising story, but a warning about religious systems that extract from the vulnerable. None of this is written to make you suspicious of your pastor. It is simply what is already sitting in your Bible, in plain language, waiting to be read in full.
