Inwardly, the newly rich or famous has other gods than the one true God to credit with his success. He privately thanks his great Anglo-Saxon forebears who carried the lamp of freedom by virtue of their superior genes. You pompous white guys failed to hold me down. If the newly rich commissions a ghost writer to write his biography, he will include much on his social and racial heritage and more about how hard he worked, but not a word about obedience to the law of God and the unmerited blessing that prospered his way. We can only know the source of our blessings by faith.
Science says it is superstition to credit supernatural forces for the success of our work.
There is no parent or teacher to stand in the gap and teach the newly rich and famous the dangers of celebrating the blood of man instead of the blood of Christ. Failing to give God the glory for success curses our children and grandchildren. Historians assure us that no family in American history has enjoyed a rising net worth beyond three generations. It was a Puritan proverb that a family went from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations. Our blind children use our hard-won wealth and social advantages on a lifetime of dissipation and sin.
