“The love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10).
That’s a strong statement. Think of all the things we could have put in place of money, in that verse. “_______ is the root of all evil.”
- Lust
- Envy
- Pride
- Resentment
- A bad burrito
But the Bible says our problem is the love of money. And I think God may be onto something. I have observed that where a person spends his money is indicative of the priorities of his heart.
Billy Graham said it like this: “If a person will get his attitude toward money straight, it will straighten out almost every other area in his life.”
Recovery Step: Get your attitude toward money right.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
