"For the love of money is the root of all evil"

Should be; "all kinds of evil" πάντων κακῶν

(all evil would be singular, yes?)

Otherwise, as the Apostle indicates, be content, a difficult thing since we are surrounded with ad men, carnival barkers, and socialist hate the rich types.

The bible is constantly challenging us with all kinds of behavior we can’t achieve without becoming self-depriving monks. In all honesty, I haven’t done but a tiny fraction of what the bible requires me to do and in all honesty, I am not interested in living that when.

Then I profess to be a Christian, a good Christian, and then I don’t do anything about it. It seems like being a good Christian is almost unobtainable unless you train for it from birth. There are so many impossible demands made in the bible.
