Many people wrongly believe that the Bible teaches that it’s wrong to be wealthy. They think that the Bible says that “Money is the root of all evil” It actually says “The love of money is the root of all evil.”  (emphasis added.) God is not opposed to wealth, in fact, many good people in the Bible were extremely wealthy including Abraham, Job, David and Solomon in the Old Testament and Barnabas and Joseph of Arimathea in the New Testament.  So God is not opposed to wealth, simply for wealth’s sake. But God is very much opposed to the misuse and abuse of wealth. He wants us to use our wealth wisely, no matter how much or how little we have.  Today we are going to look at both wrong and right uses of wealth – so that no matter how much money we have, we use it wisely.
