The Triple G (Part I) GOLD

Gold, for our purposes, here, represents money. It represents wealth and riches. It represents possessions of significant value. It represents a desire to own. It represents a "because I have it, I receive power, pleasure, and praise" mentality. To many, it represents freedom. It also represents fulfilled aspirations and goals reached. For some, it represents the main purpose of life. Who will argue that money is not a good thing to have? Solomon, known as one of the wealthiest men in the history of the world, stated: "Money answers all things." Some men will lie, steal,cheat, beg, abuse, give up their integrity/friendships/family and freedom for money. They will kill or die........for money. Of course, we work and make sacrifices for money because we must. But their is something to remember: "The love of money is the root of all evil." (I Tim. 6:10) In my view, this is probably the most misquoted verse there is. Money is not the root of all evil. The love of it is. If one truly loves money, he is willing to do most anything to obtain it. Because of this many men are locked up for the first G.
