The Love

of Money
1 Timothy 6: 9 -10
1 Timothy 6 : 9 - 10
 9
But those who desire to be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish
and harmful lusts which drown men in
destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of
money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which
some have strayed from the faith in their
greediness, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
The Love of Money
“We are shaped and
fashioned of what
we Love.”

Far more than

Psalm 121:4
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of
heaven and earth. Indeed, he who watches
over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the
moon by night. The LORD will watch over
your coming and going both now and
forevermore.
The Love of Money
Philippians 4:12
I know how to get along with humble
means, and I also know how to live in
prosperity; in any and every circumstance I
have learned the secret of being filled and
going hungry, both of having abundance
and suffering need.

need according to His riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.

 Is
Money
an
Idol?
Job 27:16-19
Though he heaps up silver like
dust and clothes like piles of
clay…
…when he opens his eyes, all
is gone.
Psalm 39:5-6
My life is no longer than my hand!
My whole lifetime is but a moment
to you. Proud man! Frail as breath!
A shadow! And all his busy rushing
ends in nothing. He heaps up
riches for someone else to spend.
The
Misuse
of Wealth
Psalm 39:5-6
There is another
serious problem I have
seen under the sun.
Hoarding riches harms
the saver.

Rockefeller: “How many
millions does it take to
satisfy a man?”

Rockefeller said,
“The Next One”
Deuteronomy 8:11-18
11. Be careful that you do not
forget the LORD your God,
failing to observe his
commands, his laws and his
decrees that I am giving you
this day.  
Deuteronomy 8:11-18
12-14. Otherwise, when you eat and are
satisfied, when you build fine houses and
settle down, and when your herds and flocks
grow large and your silver and gold increase
and all you have is multiplied, then your
heart will become proud and you will
forget the LORD your God, who brought you
out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Deuteronomy 8:11-18
17-18.  You may say to yourself, “My
power and the strength of my
hands have produced this wealth for
me.”  But remember the LORD your
18 

God, for it is He who gives you the

ability to produce wealth, and so
confirms his covenant, which he
swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
Deuteronomy 8:19
If you ever forget
the LORD your God and follow
other gods and worship and
bow down to them, I testify
against you today that you will
surely be destroyed.
“All things belong to God. Men may
ignore His claims. While He bountifully
bestows His blessings upon them, they
may use His gifts for their own selfish
gratifications; but they will be called to
give an account for their stewardship.”
Ellen White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 246

Warning
in Acts
Acts 5:3-4

… Why have you conceived

this thing in your heart?
You have not lied to men
but to God.
The
Disappointment
of Riches
Mark 10:21
Jesus looked at him and loved
him. “One thing you lack,” he
said. “Go, sell everything you
have and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow
me.”
Mark 10:24
But Jesus said again, “Children,
how hard it is to enter the
kingdom of God! It is easier for
 

a camel to go through the eye

of a needle than for someone
who is rich to enter the
kingdom of God.”

Financial
Decisions
Wealthy man said, “Dr.
Graham, I would give
everything I own in
exchange for the peace
and assurance you
posses.”
Dr. Graham replied, “You can have
salvation for nothing; but you
cannot receive it in exchange for
something. I know you would be
willing to give any material
possession to buy it, but that
would be impossible. Only Christ
could purchase salvation on our
behalf, and this He did by giving
up His life on the cross.”

saving my energy , and
the race was over too
soon. I had too much
energy left.”
