Summary

"Money and stuff are needed in this world — they're a required part of our lives. But don't let them become what your life revolves around. Paul warns Timothy in the NT, "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” Don't let your pursuit of money and the stuff it can get you become your first pursuit — your central pursuit. Because money has the potential to become our master — our god. And money makes for a dangerous master. Money is dangerous, and it can crush. It can pull the fingers and the hand in. It can crush your entire body. It's high voltage. It's dangerous. That's why the Bible offers warnings. So, pay attention to the warnings. Don't disregard them. Don't go past them. Please don't ignore them. I want you to recognize the way in which Doc and I are even talking about this stuff. Last week, we talked about our confusion — the ways we've misunderstood the role of money and the myths around it. We've interacted with those myths to make ourselves feel more comfortable about money. But they're just myths. This week, it's warnings. Money is dangerous. There's something on the line here. There are ways this can go very badly. And next week we'll talk about health. We'll talk about the right ways to handle our money and practical ways to live that will help resolve the temptation of money becoming our master." Ben Webb, Associate Minister
