The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil

1 Tim. 6:6-11

Money and other earthly possessions are good.  The Scripture also says money answereth all things, but the love of money is the root of all evil.  Craving for earthly wealth brings about covetousness and desperation.  Desperation eventually leads many into all sorts of atrocities just for the sake of getting money. In our society today, people engage in such vices as ritual killing, kidnapping, human and drug trafficking just for the love of money. We should not be carried away by the crazy competition of wealth acquisition going on in the world today. Some so called Pastors are not helping matters in that they preach prosperity messages that push their congregations to get money at all cost and by all means. God is against this and they must desist from such or face the wrath of God. Riches belong to God and He gives according to His will.  We are not to be too money conscious. The love of money is misleading.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: Godliness with contentment is great gain.  We brought nothing to this world and we shall carry nothing out.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, give me contentment with what I have.
