The Bible has a lot to say about money, wealth, greed, contentment and a variety of other topics as they pertain to our financial and spiritual lives. Bible has well over 2000 verses about money. In this blog, my extracts are from the book of proverbs.
1 Timothy 6:10, says; for the love of money is a root of all evil. Some people eager for money have wondered from their faith and pierced themselves with many grieves.
Money is not evil but the love of money. Do you worship money? How did you acquire your wealth, dubious way or clean way? We Christians have a lot of questions to answer about our money and wealth. Also our conducts when it comes to matters of money and wealth.
