Resisting The Love Of Money

Send us Fan MailThe love of money rarely announces itself. It slips in through perfectly normal goals, a bigger paycheck, a safer savings account, a lifestyle upgrade and then, almost without noticing, our priorities start orbiting around what we can earn, keep, and control. Day 160 of Faith for Every Day is a straight, personal pause on 1 Timothy 6:10 and the sobering truth that craving wealth can “pierce” us with sorrow even while we’re telling ourselves we’re just being responsible.We walk through the crucial distinction: money is not evil. Money is a tool, and wise financial stewardship matters. The problem begins when money becomes the place we run for security, identity, and peace. We talk about how materialism can quietly push faith to the margins, how it tempts us to compromise values, and why Jesus’ words still cut through the noise: you cannot serve God and money.Then we get practical. We lay out three simple practices that help resist the love of money in everyday life: gratitude for what God has already provided, generosity that loosens our grip, and seeking God first so He shapes our desires and we learn to trust His provision.
