Your life should be free from the love of money. That freedom should be seen in the contentment that governs your life. Are you content with what you have?
Jesus said, "you cannot serve God AND money." There would have been dozens of options that He could have chosen to contrast with God in that statement, but He chose MONEY. Why?
Paul said, "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and those eager for it have pierced themselves with many pains." Money itself is not evil, but Paul warned that loving it leads to all kinds of wrongdoing.
Now here in Hebrews we are told to "not love money"! So what should we do to counter our natural desire to love money and the things it buys? I would suggest three things: 1. Decide to use your money to serve the one true God rather than pursuing money as a god. 2. Be generous with your money. Let your giving determine your living. 3. Take making more money out of your decision making process. Choose the best fit, not the most money.
Don't love money. It won't love you back!
