Money is not inherently evil, but it is seductive. 1 Timothy 6 warns us, “People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men 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” (1 Timothy. 6:9, 10).

“But God said to him, “Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?” So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

— Luke 12:19-21 (NKJV)

Deliver us from the love of money. In Your holy name we pray.
