Money is a resource that enables a person to find a measure of comfort and security in this world. If you have lots of money, you can buy the clothes you want, you can live in the house of your choice, you can pay doctors to look after you if you fall ill, and you can procure all the food you need. It is very tempting therefore to focus life on gaining as much money as possible. It is an idol which we are all naturally drawn to serve.1
24 Nul ne peut servir deux maîtres. Car, ou il haïra l'un, et aimera l'autre; ou il s'attachera à l'un, et méprisera l'autre. Vous ne pouvez servir Dieu et Mammon.
