Brother Joe Trout reflects on the challenging message from 1 Timothy that "the love of money is the root of all evil." He clarifies that this isn't about rejecting God's gifts, but about our relationship with them. Discover how the love of money can lead to greed and self-reliance, and how we can instead use our wealth to build up the Kingdom of Heaven, which is a great thing.
