I Timothy 6
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 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.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” is a very familiar phrase of absolute Truth. The second part of this verse, “which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” I wasn’t familiar with and can see most people aren’t either because otherwise there would be less greed and more sharing. Wealth has stealth; growing up poor and after much material struggle no longer have ‘lack’ to overcome (now understanding and grateful for God’s grace!). I do have a struggle with hoarding and accumulating too many worldly things and am grateful for Lesson Sermons such as this one, to help me learn how to handle this in a Spiritual fashion with God’s direction!
