'Summary: Money is necessary to meet the needs of our family and to do many of the works needed to advance God’s Kingdom. But more important are honesty and love concerning God and other people. The love of money can become a huge temptation. In Matthew 6:33 we learn that our role is to seek God and His Kingdom, and He promises to provide for all of our needs. Love of money destroyed the life of one of Jesus’ followers, Judas Iscariot. Judas stole from the common purse of the followers of Christ (John 12:4-6) and then he also agreed to betray Christ to get 30 pieces of silver (Luke 22:4-6). We need to guard our hearts against the love of and motivation for money.'
