Read 1 Timothy 6:3-19
We have been looking at stewardship and specifically stewardship of our money. Today I want us to focus on verse ten. So often when people read this verse they come away saying that money is the root of all evil. But that is not what the verse is saying at all. Money is not the root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil which results in rejecting Christ and a life of sorrow. Just think about it, the desire for money can cause all kinds of problems. Many fathers spend countless hours at work for money. Many teens today work and go to school and do this and that and are extremely stressed because they have to have money. Listen money is not the problem; it is the love of money that is the problem. You can say money will buy you happiness and that may be true but as we found out yesterday that those who pursue happiness through money will only find themselves wanting more and that wanting will lead to a life of sorrows. We must be very careful in our handling of money because life a wild fire it can spread so quickly into our minds that money will solve all of my problems. If I just have more than I can…..
Father help us to see the futility in thinking that money can buy true happiness.
