'' Ephesians 5 : 5 -7 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person -- such a man is an idolater -- has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. ''
'' Hebrews 13 : 5, 6 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ''Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'' So we say with confidence, '' The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? ''
'' Luke 16 : 14, 15 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. He said to them, '' You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight. ''

'' 1 John 2 : 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ''
'' Luke 12 : 29 - 31 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. ''
'' Matthew 16 : 24 - 26 Then Jesus said to the disciples, ''If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? ''

'' Luke 12 :15 - 21 Then he said to them, '' Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. ''
And he told them this parable: ''The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, 'What shall I do ? I have no place to store my crops.' Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself, ''You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat drink and be merry.'' But God said to him, 'You fool!' This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself ?' '' This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God. '' ''
'' Matthew 6 : 19 - 24 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart is also.
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
No-one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve both God and Money. ''
