What is the proper relationship between material wealth, discipleship, and justice?

Could living a just life in our culture of consumerism and materialism go something like this: Sell everything you have, give to the poor, get more stuff, repeat. Is that possible?

Read Mark’s and Luke’s account of the rich young ruler (Luke 18: 18-29, Mark 10: 17-31). What side of that conversation do you think you are on? What side do you think your church is on? Who has entered into true discipleship and who is merely religiously upright? How are we to discern whether we have a proper relationship between our wealth, the poor, and following Jesus?
