The woe of money

But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. (1 Timothy 6:8-10 ESV)

It's not that money itself is bad, it is the desire and obsession for it that leads men into ruin.  It is an unslakable lust that causes men to exercise poor judgement and to abandon things of great spiritual value.  Let us not seek after riches, power, or glory, but rather give richly, pray for His power to save us from this evil age, and bring Him all of the glory.  We are reflectors of our hearts and because He lives in us, let His light shine through us unto all mankind.  Amen!
