 It was the love of money that caused the rich young ruler to turn away from Christ. It was the love of money that caused the wealthy man to neglect the poor man, Lazarus. It was the love of money that caused Judas to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. And it was the love of money that caused the couple Ananias and Sapphira to lie to and be struck dead by the Holy Spirit of God. That's the problem with money.
