The love of money can lead to all sorts of sin. But is this really a big deal for kids? Well, even though very few kids have jobs or have to worry about money like adults do, the dangers of the love of money can absolutely affect people of all ages. Most people don’t love money itself; they love what money will (or, at least, what they think it will) do for them. People of all ages want more stuff, they want to be more popular or important, and they want to feel powerful. Money can get you these things, but pursuing them can be a trap that can lead you astray, away from the path that God has called you to. Whether you are a kid or an adult, we should all watch out for the love of money.
