A man once came to visit Robert Hall, the famous English preacher, to take some exception to a statement the preacher had made in his sermon. Hall saw that the man was in the bondage of love of money.
Hall took a half sovereign (coin) out of his pocket &
opening the Bible, pointed to the word "God."
"Can you see that word?" he said to the man.
"Certainly, I can see it."
Then Hall laid the half sovereign over the word. "Can
you see it now?" he asked.
There was no need for the man to answer. It was an
unforgettable sermon:
Money, the love of it, can hide from the soul of man even
the face of God.

“To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be
stupid enough to want it.” - G.K.
Chesterton.
Heb 13:5 (NIV): 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.”
“If a person gets his
attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other
area in his life.” - Billy Graham.
