It is written in Scriptures: Zephania 1 verses 17-18: And I will bring distress upon men that they shall walk like blind men because they have sinned against the Lord and their blood shall be poured out as dust and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver, nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lords wrath. but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for He shall make a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. Also in James 5 verses 1-3: Go to now ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2: Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth eaten. 3: Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh as if it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Now in Mathew 6 verse 18-21 the Christ says: That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father, which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 19 Lay not up for yourself, treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal. 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Having some gold or silver is a good thing IMO, but in reality you can't eat and it's value is based on what someone else is willing to give you for it. I think there are other matters that take higher precedence than gold or silver.
