Title: The Love of Money (1)
Series: God & Money-What the Bible Says about Managing Money
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: 1 Timothy 6:7-10
If you have your Bible, please turn to First Timothy chapter 6. We're starting a brand-new series today. We're calling it "God and Money: What the Bible Says About Managing Money." The Bible has a lot to say about money and how we are to manage money. Jesus told a number of parables and almost half of them had to do with money. Because if you think about it, if you had to have one test to see how well you're doing spiritually, the one thing that's probably greater than any one thing to tell you if you're doing well or you're doing poorly is your attitude toward money. Because Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters. He'll either hate the one and despise the other, or cling to one and hate the other. You can't serve God and money, God and riches." And so, we want to talk today as we kick off this series, about one of the most famous verses in the Bible, First Timothy chapter 6, that speaks about money and our attitude toward money.
I'll read in verse 7 of chapter 6, in First Timothy. "For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." The love of money!
You know, when we talk about greed, the last of the Ten Commandments, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house, your neighbor's spouse, anything that belongs to your neighbor." That's this desire for more and more. I want what you have. The love of money. We typically think that's somebody else's problem, right? I mean, we're not the greedy person. It's ...
