Joshua 7 : 2-5
New International Version
Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.” So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai, who killed about thirty-six of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted in fear and became like water.

Joshua 7 : 10-12
New International Version
The LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
New International Version
When you love money, you cannot love God.
Matthew 6 : 21-21
English Standard Version
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
English Standard Version
Matthew 6 : 24-24
English Standard Version
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
English Standard Version
When you love money, you cannot love God.
When you love money, you love the spirit that rests on money.
1 Timothy 6 : 10-10
English Standard Version
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.
English Standard Version
Love of Money = philargyria – avarice, a strong desire for riches or greed; extreme greed for wealth or material gain.
Question: What does greed sounds like?
I have a house but if only I had a bigger house, then I’d be happy.
I have a car but if only I had a better car, then I’d be happy.
I’m on vacation but if only I was staying someplace nicer, then I’d be happy.
I have an income but if only I made more, then I’d be happy.
Root = riza – offspring, a sprout, that which like a root springs forth.
Love of money = When you love the idea of what money can do for you MORE than you love God.
Ecclesiastes 5 : 10-10
New International Version
Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless.

This too is meaningless.

Revelation 3:17-20
Berean Study Bible
You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.
