Is money the root of all evil? I don’t think so.
It would be an accurate statement that the root of most evil is man’s desire for status – their greediness to power, as long they have their position even they do not enjoy what they are doing and have this big ticket salary, they are already rich but deep inside they are just so insecure and for them money will make the world go around.
Blaming money for evil is like blaming the scoreboard for a basketball game.
Desire for money and status is only bad when people do bad things in order to obtain what they desire, using their power to take advantage of others. Even then, it’s not “greed” that’s really bad, but the person who’s doing the bad things who is bad.
The bottom line is that money, like technology, is spiritually neutral. It can be used for good or evil.
God always deals with the heart and the motives of the use of money. If the motives are pure then the fruit can be very very good.
Let’s stop loving things and start loving people instead. Let’s emulate that desire for money is a good thing when people play by the rules and results to a better place to live in which is a measure of our fullest life yet worthwhile, a true wealth indeed!
