Some Christians automatically think it is evil, while others believe God prospers those he loves. The problem with Christian assumptions about money is that our beliefs often get built from Scriptures taken out of context, and then our assumptions create conflict. As Madeline Kalu writes in her article about Christian wealth: Unity is needed in the...
God knew we would need a lot of instruction in the money department. We can tell he knew we’d need help based on how many scriptures (over 2,000 of them) refer to money. Here’s a list of 50 scriptures on money. One of the Bible’s key scriptures about money comes from the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew details something that took place at the very end o...
Jesus did not ride into Jerusalem on a white stallion but on a lowly colt. One may assume this demonstrated humility. But Jesus was not demonstrating humility or poverty. This can only be understood by the cultural traditions of that time. Stephen Bakerobserves that conquering kings rode into cities on majestic war horses signifying their rule, but...
Greed is one of the dangers of money. The Bible is clear on this. Jesus warned to be on guard against greed, and life is not about collecting possessions (Luke 12:15). Though Jesus spoke these words over 2,000 years ago, greed has been an issue of the human heart since Eve wanted the forbidden fruit. Like Eve, who wanted more than she had, we live ...

But Paul did not say that money is the root of all evil; rather, he said that the love ofmoney is the problem. Paul warned us about loving money. Time ...
How do we know if money has become an idol? The first sign is we’re obsessed with making more of it. The second is it’s harder and harder to give to the church and those in need. The third is when money becomes the first thing you think about in the morning and the last that crosses your mind at night. In my life, I’ve noticed a pattern: the less m...
With God on the throne of our hearts instead of money, we can relinquish the use of our paycheck to God’s direction. That direction includes giving to God and giving to those in need. Perhaps one of the most loved and quoted scriptures about giving to God is in Malachi, where God tells his people to tithe and see how he would “throw open the floodg...
May 24, 2019 · The Bible does not say that money is the root of all evil, but talks about “the love of money.” This is a key difference because the whole passage—when you read it in context—is addressing the state of our hearts: What we desire, What we pursue, What we live for, and.
Sep 8, 2023 · In the ESV and other modern Bible translations, it only says that money is “a” root of “all kinds of” evil. See the difference? “Love of money is not the sole root of evils,” says the JFB Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, “but it is a leading ‘root of bitterness’ (Heb. 12:15).” 2.
