Money must luv us,not us Luv money but we must remember that be poor is not on God will.When you read the bible many they were having farm,cow including Jesus was having present of gold when was born.Bible say treasure is hidden in Christ so we must luv Christ and we will have money.

I totally agree, money is very important, but it is not the most important thing.

A little wine is good for the heart, and money when it is used wisely will solve many problems. However, if you live to feast on wine, and Love money, you will find yourself at the root of all evil.

I think this verse let 's us know money is essential to our daily lives, but not to take the place of Jesus in our lives.

oh yes this verse talks seriously,people shouldn't misuse it because it takes the Spirit of the Lord to contemplate,to earn money by the work of our hands is perfect but the to be so desperate for money is evil in that u putting the Love of God for the Love of money,,but in everything God first.

Money is part of life, money is inpact to life.

Prefacing that I 'm not 2nd guessing King Solomon 's wisdom, I contemplate 10 19 as a part of the whole Ecclesiastes. It seems that the preacher looks at our short lives realistically and gives some sound and wise advice.

Yes! Nothing wrong with money. However for the "love" of money is the root of all evil read it all...

money is essential but not a priority. Man needs money in all his endeavour but should not kill nor suppress another one for money sake. Remember it is essential and also root of all evil. Mean while it keeps the world moving. Lg

Gods word is perfect. money is mostly needed for all life activities especially in our world of today if you don't have money you are not recognised even in the house of the lord..

 

NWAKO S O's comment on 2013-09-12 13:35:50:

The church of God needs money to carry out the work of God, however christianS should not love money absolutely. They should be working to gather money to use it only in things that edify God and not for a show of wealth or riches.The word of God in the bible is perfect and time tasted and cannot be challenged by mortal man.
