| “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” “He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.” One of the marks of “the last days” with their “perilous times” is that “men shall be ... covetous,” which means lovers of silver. God warns His children against such covetousness and love of gain. “If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.” “Labor not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” “Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments?” For “the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” “But thou, O man of God, flee these things.” |
