“Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion…” Prov.30

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil.” 1Tim.6

Money is not the root of evil, the love of it is. Money is a tool, a resource that we use to live. There is no sin in having it or securing it (even in abundance), but only as it enables not enslaves. The problem is preoccupation with it. As such, it can be the bane of both the poor and the rich. Poor people often think too much about getting money, and the rich about keeping it, or getting more than is needed. Use money, but don’t let money use you. Conversations Within” ts 5/30/2015
