Strong Towers v. Fortified Cities
- Who owns it all, anyway?
- "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe."
- "The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall"
- "But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant..."
- "Yours, O Lord, are the greatness and the power...for everything in heaven and earth is yours...[w]ealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all."
- "With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity...I walk...along paths of justice, bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full."
- "God gives...to the sinner...the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God."
- "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise."
