“Most Christians are not putting God first in the financial area of their lives. Materialism has taken its toll and impacted believers. The world has pressed us into its mold and the majority of evangelical believers in our society are not walking in the will of God in relationship to their material possessions (Rom. 12:1-2).”
Gene A. Getz in A Biblical Theology of Material Possessions (Chicago: Moody Press, 1990) 15-16.
