Rich?

On successive Sunday's I'm preaching on Luke's account of the Rich Ruler and Jesus' meeting with Zacchaeus.  Each story presents a different facet of the role of material wealth in the Kingdom of God.  In last week's sermon on the Rich Ruler (audio available here), I cited a New York Times op. ed. by former hedge-fund trader named Sam Polk.  It's posted here, and is worth reading if you have the time.
