Message summary & scripture references
The Bible teaches us that the love of money is the root of all evil, but what does that really mean? Does it mean we should give all our money away and live a very modest life? Does it mean we shouldn’t devise plans to make money from our businesses? Well, we need to find out, because our understanding of this Bible concept affects our entire life and success in our calling. Listen to today’s Daily Word and learn what really is the “love of money” sin.
