The Love Of Money

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 14, 2017

The desire for money will deceive and ultimately destroy you. Paul outlines a three step process: (1) The desire for money; (2) The deception of money; (3) The destruction caused by money.

THE LOVE OF MONEY Study Text: 1 Timothy 6: 6 - 10 Introduction: - There is a tremendous difference between money and the love of money.

Contentment

Contributed by David Paulson on Aug 28, 2017

It is an issue I wrestle with and I see the body of Christ wrestle with. The world wrestles with it too, but there is a difference how a child of God deals with discontentment. A short write up, touching a few points close to my heart.

No, not my preferred topic and I dislike discussing it as I continue to struggle with it on a daily basis. But it’s wise to address a problem and deal with it before it gets out of hand and leads you down the path of no return. It was a struggle, it is a struggle and hesitantly I have to admit it ...read more

In The Almighty Dollar We Trust

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 29, 2019

Our world focuses on more, more, more. Paul, in his letter to young pastor Timothy, coaches contentment, gratefulness, and sharing, building up riches in heaven.

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 1, 2019

We see God's provision in our lives. As a rule, we Americans do not understand our wealth if we have never been to an underdeveloped country. Even those at the poverty level would be rich in many lands. Has God given us these riches so we can provide for them?

The Paradox Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul says the love of money is the root of all evil, and Mark Twain said, the lack of money is the root of all evil. The one does not eliminate the other, for Twain's remark compliments Paul's.

Someone said, life is an everlasting struggle to keep money coming in, and teeth, hair, and vital organs from coming out. Few have known this better than General Ulysses S. Grant. He led the armies of the North to victory in the Civil War, and was twice elected president of the United States. He ...read more
