Don't you think it really depends on a person's definition of "wealth"? I believe I'm rich because my faith ensures all my needs will be met. And my good health is also valuable. Walking with God has the potential to ensure good values in regards to all wealth...IMO.
I think the warning is intended for those with material wealth. I think if we're rich in love, faith, and good health we're probably blessed! Those things are more likely to get us into heaven than keep us out.
Immediately before reading this, I read Chapter 2 of Tozer's Pursuit of God. He explores the same theme through the story of Abraham and Isaac. Thanks for more to think about on this subject!
