For The Love of Money

Our economy is a mess. There is no other way to put it. OK there are other ways to put it, but... I'll just stick with that one. Can you feel it? Can you feel the lusty intensity by which persons in power are slinging blame while desperately grabbing for more money and power?

"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless." Ecclesiastes 5:10 (NIV)

Everyone has there theories about what or who caused the problems we have today. Was it the Republicans or the Demarcates or wall street or the people who can't afford to pay off their loans?

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil..." 1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV)

There are may people who have been devoured by this evil. You can almost feel the spirit of Antichrist rising up in the mist of the panic and the violence of the bickering amongst our nations leaders. Our beloved nation is so polarized, so divided, that the masses are crying out for peace and safety.

I want to call out to the body of Christ to shake yourself and listen. Not to me or anyone else with a theory, but listen to what God is saying. Be vigilant, stand your watch and don't get caught up in the dizzying momentum of the panic of our society. Draw close to God and hear what He would say.
