Hebrews 13:5

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

Matthew 6:24

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20

Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

Matthew 6:19-21

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Love this...thank you! My husband got cancer last year...we shipped him to Spain and he was cured after 2-weeks. When he came back, we sold everything and now travel the country helping people with their health. We are so happy and we have SO much less than we did before!!! Strange, but true!!!

At the end of the day though money can be evil when people worship it.

Absolutely has its place but not the beginning and ending of life for sure.

Basically the bible doesn't want you controlled by money, "You" need to be in control of it. You have to remember money is just a store of value or a tool. Does one love a shovel, no, but I love the fact I don't have to dig by hand : )

Just remember money is just a tool, don't lust after it and you will be fine!

The bible also says God loves a cheerful giver, so apparently God knows it's apparently just a tool! God blessed Abraham and Soloman with immense wealth.

It's all about how you use it and or covet it! It's just paper and ink, don't let it control you.
