Luke 16:13-15 (New International Version)
"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.
You either serve God or Money(Mammon).Is there a 'Mammon' today? Mammon is the 'god of Money'.More and more, foolish men don't seem to understand that you cannot equate your financial status with your walk with God.You cannot come to the conclusion that when you have lots of money in this world,you are walking 'right' with God.Thats the greatest delusion that's coming.Infact,this is how the Beast( The Antichrist) will be introduced into the scene to make many foolish men and women fall-down in worship of this Enemy of Christ in sheep's clothing.Beware....More to come!
1 Timothy 6:3-10 (New International Version)
Love of Money
If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
