31. Love of money is the root of all evil--commonly known as GREED

Tue Oct 15, 2013, 10:22 PM

Oct 2013

1 Timothy 6:10

9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
