Love of Money

1 Timothy 6:6-10

This passage does not relate to work specifically, but it is so related to work issues that I could not pass by it without comment. Paul says "godliness with contentment is great gain." I think contentment is one of the rarest treasures. Look at verse 8--"If we have food and clothing, we are content with that." Verse 10 does not say that money is the root of all evil. It's the love of money, the relentless pursuit of more. Be careful about ambition. If properly focused, it can be a great thing. But if ambition is connected to greed, you are moving further and further from contentment.
