Money is the root of many evils wrote the Apostle Paul. In reality of course money is an inanimate object. It depends how you use it and your attitude to its importance in our individual lives. The somewhat self-righteous often say, "money means nothing to me." There stands a man or woman who clearly hasn't got a mortgage to pay or got children at home, nor in the case of a Christian wanting to bless their local Church. Of course money is important, however many are spending money they don't possess! Credit cards are great, providing you remember you have to pay back the money with interest if you don't clear the debt quickly.
Scripture tells us that believers "have the mind of Christ." In the consumerist society of our day may we live as we should.
