For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It
is through this craving that some have wandered away from the
faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. But as for you,
O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
-- 1 Timothy 6:10-11 (ESV)

Quotation:
Anybody with any maturity knows that an experienced
Christian is more eager to have God use him than he is to use
God for his own ends; but this does not mean that God is
absent from the processes of business and livelihood, nor
unconcerned about them, nor unable to reveal Himself through
them. When we begin to look upon work, business, money, as
potential sacraments through which God can work, we shall make
better use of them.

Faith [1957]
