Money ( 1 Timothy 6 v 10 )

Now a little history lesson,as regards a certain king, Leopold 11 of  Belgium,who reigned from 1865-1909.He was quoted as having said,that all the Monarchy was good for was making money. This became the driving force in his life,especially when he acquired the land of the Congo,not Belgium but him.He pretended that he would send missionaries ,but exploiting the resources of the Congo was his aim,to do that he turned the whole country into a slave colony,in doing this millions died,countless thousand endured whippings and mutilation,this included women and children. It has been said that this good Roman Catholic ,should be remembered alongside Hitler,when Belgium took over the running of the country the exploitation did not stop, and even after independence most of the countries resources  are owned by foreign companies with very little benefit going to the general population. 1 Timothy 6 v 10,reads ,'For the love of money is the root of all evil',the history of those who exploited the Congo is a witness to this truth. We will come back to this tomorrow.
