Contentment, Generosity, and You, Part 3

June 7, 2024

Did you know that you can fall in love with money? It’s possible. When get-rich schemes fill your thoughts and longings for things occupy your heart, you’re infatuated.

Be warned, however. “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Pastor Chuck Swindoll shows you from Paul’s letter to Timothy the cure to money-obsession. It’s contentment—the assurance that God will provide all we need.

Contentment is cultivated within the heart. When we are truly content, money’s spell has no power over us, and we’re free to give with joy!
