The bible says that the root of all evil is MONEY. That it is easier for the camel to enter the 'eye of the needle' than for the rich to enter the kingdom.
But I also know of many christians who believe that if God likes them, they will be made RICH in this world. Otherwise, if they are poor, it means God is not watching over them. Is this true? That God gives you evil (money) when He loves you?
Some others believe that they should have the best of both worlds. Rich now and Rich after death. Of course this is an ideal case cos in the context of the bible, being rich now usually just means being poor after death.
So, as christians, should we strive to be rich now or rich later? Or is the faith non-existent and replaced by the fear of death and the greed of money that they call themselves christians only to deceive themselves and others that the kingdom of God awaits them while they take their time revelling amongst themselves on earth?
Where is faith?
