The love of money is the root of all evil. (1 Tim 6:9-10)<br />As a poisonous plant whose toxic roots contain the potency to<br />kill, so the love of money is the root of all evil, eventually killing<br />the one who drinks of its pleasures. Love means the direction of<br />your will, what you delight in and direct your energy toward. The<br />love of money begins as a normal inclination toward comfort and<br />pleasure, but like all plants, it grows as you water it. It becomes<br />the dominating factor that directs your life, becoming an insatiable<br />appetite for wealth that consumes your time, energy, and thought<br />life. As your wealth increases, you become ever more attentive to<br />and worried about your assets and expenditures. Before long the<br />plant begins to blossom into a voracious desire to accumulate<br />wealth, ultimately bearing its deadly fruit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-59451362472814424292010-06-01T16:05:24.056-06:002010-06-01T16:05:24.056-06:00Jesus is a way, but not the only wayJesus is a way, but not the only wayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149653.post-63310772610756006332010-06-01T01:14:28.398-06:002010-06-01T01:14:28.398-06:00Money or no money ,It don't matter .

It suffices that through God's glory we have recognized the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

And you didn't annul and trample everything I lived and taught by mouthing the magic words, 'I believe in the Death, Burial, & Resurrection of Jesus' under code # 23947! I thus sentence you to one Eternity in Hell! <br /><br />If the lawyer Jesus is correct, wouldn't you say the world would be a better place if everybody chose Hell? <br /><br />"My religion is Kindness."
