What is a financial lifestyle that is honouring to God? This article discusses the legitimate diversity that there is in the amount of money and possessions owned by Christians.

Often Jesus called his disciples and followers to leave everything. What is the content of this call? There are also passages in Luke and Acts that seem to require voluntary poverty. Other passages require a right attitude to the continuing possession of wealth. What was Jesus' teaching on possessions?

Was it compulsory for the earliest Christians in the book of Acts to share their possessions? This article considers this question in the light of passages like Acts 2:44-45 and Acts 4:32-35, which speak of sharing of possessions among the earliest believers. This article is a response to the view that Luke presents this practice as mistaken.

Christians should have an attitude of contentment towards their earthly possessions. Faced with a discontent world, the Christian should learn to have confidence in the sufficient provision of God. True contentment means finding joy and satisfaction in what God values.
