Quote by David Jeremiah
“Money means a lot of different things; it is much more than it appears to be. It is God’s greatest rival. It is much more than the paper it seems to be, or the metal, or the plastic. It is our love of things; it is our escape from dependence on people; it is our security against death; it is our effort to control life…. It is easier to love things than to love people. Things are dead, so you can possess them easily…. If you can’t love people you will begin to love money. It will never hurt your feelings or challenge your motives, but neither will it ever respond to you—because it is dead…. And after a while the problem will begin to show: you will begin to look dead yourself…. After a while you will be incapable of loving anyone, and then you might as well be dead…. Money is neutral. But an extreme attachment to it is not neutral; it is a kind of opposite religion…. The religion of God is the religion of love. The instinct of love is to share, to give away. But the instinct of Mammon is to accumulate.43”
