We have a choice. ( Matthew 19 v 16 - 26 )

I read in one of my devotionals the following,In a major survey in the USA  people were asked,' What would you be willing to do for 10 million dollars.Twenty per cent said they'd be willing to leave their families. Twenty -three per cent said they would be willing to become a prostitute for a week. Seven per-cent said they would be willing to murder a stranger.' It went on to say sadly that Christians are not immune from falsifying tax returns.' The love of money is very ,very strong with mankind, I emphasise love,remember the commandments are summed up in loving God,and loving others. ( Matthew 22 v 37 - 40 )The seriousness and awful sinfulness of loving money is shown by the betrayal of our Saviour for 30 pieces  of silver by Judas, he  had a love for money, ( John 12 v 6 ),and that love destroyed him,and condemned him to a lost eternity.Our Saviour said,''What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul. Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul'' ( Mark 8 v 36 - 37 )
