Is Money evil

Many think the Bible says money is evil but it does not. What it actually says is the love of money causes evil. The meaning is that when people love money they will do evil things to obtain it.
While not all evil is caused by the love of money (rape is an example), there are many different kinds of evil that have the love of money as their true motivation.

Money has deceived many. They think it will bring them happiness, but it disappoints. Money cannot buy happiness or real love. Money will never love you back, money will not wrap you in its loving arms and tell you this storm will pass and I be with you always, however God can for his promises are forever.  Our Father God is our true Source who will never fail us. He alone deserves our love and our faith. But money has a history of disappointment and failure.  As children of God we do not have to place our hope in money to take care of us, for we have the promise of God that He will always be with us and provide for us.  We should not allow doubt to rob us of this blessing.  Please notice it is not riches that choke the Word, but the deceitfulness of riches. Believing lies about riches is what chokes the Word and keeps it from producing good fruit in people's lives.  Here is a truth too few have learned: happiness is not achieved by getting, but rather by giving. No matter how much you accumulate, it will never satisfy you. You will always want more. But when you recognize that God is your Source and you can give without worrying about your own needs, you can enter into great freedom and joy. Can you be a lover of money and also be a continual giver? No! Those who love money are not willing to part with it. Although they may part with some for the purpose of gaining more money, they will never focus on giving, for they are interested in getting, not giving to others.


 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows (1 Timothy 6:10).
