I watched a movie on J. P. Getty the other night.

Wow. Enough was never enough.

I’m not here to sing the evils of wealth. It’s just that some people are never satisfied.

Normal endeavors to make still more money are not necessarily evil, because creating more wealth involves others having jobs and working, but some folks just succumb to evil to do it. THAT is wrong.

Gifted people who make lots of money, have a rare gene that kicks in for them. I think that’s great. I have no problem with it.

Just don’t give in to evil.

I am not seeking to contradict Jesus/God here.

I do agree that money is the root of evil.

You really do have to be careful how you conduct yourself.

THE LOVE of Money, not the money itself.......Love of money is a form of idolatry. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were wealthy men of their times. David and his son Solomon were wealthy and Solomon was wealthiest king on earth. God will bestow wealth upon whom He wishes as a reward for godliness or for a project to be done. I watch these TV preachers in their regalia and huge mansions begging for money. If they were true men of God, they would not have to ask, it would just come...................................
