What are you worth? What is it that makes us rich? We are treading on dangerous ground when we raise questions about wealth and money, and a working theology of wealth is not going to be easy. But it is the subject that Jesus talks about more than any other than the kingdom of God itself, and our christianity is shallow if it doesn't effect our attitude to wealth.

Great stuff Mark. Made me think of this site: The Global Rich List. It'll tell you exactly how rich you are.
In case you're wondering, I'm in the top 7.2% and there are 5.5 billion people who are poorer than me.
Yeah I think that is right, richness of spirit comes from knowing God, and enjoying him and his Glory. But I think it has 'measurable' quality. A richness of spirit has a weightyness, a depth. It is probably a combination of wisdom and trials and prayerfulness. You sometimes see it in older christians - and it was Jesus through and through.
