The Scriptures open in a garden where the gold is good, and close in a city whose street is pure gold. Between that garden and that city lies the whole history of human want.
EDEN asks why a God so lavish presides over a world so marked by lack, and what He has done about it. This is not a formula for getting rich. It is a call to wisdom before money, to stewardship before ownership, and to wealth in the service of the Kingdom and of the poor.
