I Tim. 6:10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 

    Money is not evil.  Everyone needs money to exist in this world because we all must purchase those things we NEED for our survival.  There are few cultures which exist that do not use some form of money to operate.  The fact of the need for money is not man’s problem but man’s love of or greed for more money is the problem. Many people who are very poor are just as much in love of money as those who are rich. People of all walks in life want MORE.  How are we to be content in our life if all we do is strive for MORE. The way to be content is to be Financially Free.  That is NOT the same as Financial Independence or Financially  Wealthy.  As believer, we are to trust God and obey Him in all aspects of life, even in the area of money.  If we let money rule in our life then we are in bondage to money and we are not free.  We need to rule over our finances and NOT let finances rule over us.  Being Financially Free is being GOOD stewards with the money that God provides.  Far too many people do NOT know how to manage their money and become slaves of having and making MORE just to survive.
