Few people are talking about the silent killer that is the love of
money that apparently doesn't hurt anyone. But I have been hurt by it
using my own hands and it—the love of money— is a sin as vile as any other. It may not have
man's laws against it, or have society frown upon it as "immoral," or
even be likely to cause a "scandal" in a church—if at all it is
mentioned, but heaven is not rejoicing over anyone being entangled in
that sin that breeds other sins (1 Timothy 6:9-10).
When Jesus looks
at people's hearts and sees that greed monster, He sees that no place
has been made for Him. He says, "Purify your hearts, you double-minded"
(James 4:8) and that's his call to repentance.
