There is no doubt that money controls our ECONOMY. But, we should make sure that we never let it control our CHARACTER!!!
Great post! I agree 100%! That's what is wrong with so much of our Government and the policies it implements. Consider the following.
1) HONESTY and INTEGRITY- Look at so many of our elected leaders and those who would like to become our elected leaders, any HONESTY and INTEGRITY issues there?
2) DIGNITY and RESPECT- Our most vulnerable and innocent are treated as something that is disposable.
3) FAIRNESS- Our tax system penalizes success and rewards underachievement.
4) COMPASSION and LOVE- Our welfare system is traps generations in poverty.
So much of the things described above are, in fact, rooted in the love of money, but also in the lust for power.
CHARACTER, the way we are when no one but God is looking, really is the foundation of what it will take to truly make the changes we need.
