Love of Money

There is a common misconception that Christians should be poor; nothing could be further from the truth. In 1 Timothy 6:10, the Apostle declares "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." God desires His people to prosper, as the ministry must have money to meet the needs of the people; not for their own gain, but to bless His people and build up His kingdom.
