Misquoted | Money is the Root of all Evil | Pastor John Niewald

Message Notes“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” I Timothy 6:6-10Money is morally neutral.Greed is like a trap. It’s so easy to see in others, but so hard to see in ourselves.You don’t have to be rich to be greedy, and you don’t have to be poor to be frugal. Anyone can be controlled by the love of money.The only way we can break free from this trap is by having our hearts transformed by the grace of God.Faith in Jesus changes everything in us, and it changes us from the inside out.Corrie Ten Boom: “I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.”Send questions to [email protected] Timothy 6:6-10, Mark 10:33, Luke 12:15, Jeremiah 17:9, Hebrews 13:5Support the show
