Intimacy does have a cost, right? Even human wisdom discerns this. You may remember these famous words: Can't buy me love, can't buy me love...I don't care too much for money for money can't buy me love. - The Beatles Life Lessons: The Intimate Nature of Worship...
Money is the root of all evil. Has anyone ever said that to you? They may have also said this: God helps those who help themselves. But, I digress... In I Timothy 6:10a, Paul wrote: For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil… Money itself is not evil. But...
The immediate response to the title question is probably, NO! Why? Being let down is one of the life lessons we have all had to learn. Now, at some level we must trust others because none of us serve the Lord as a Lone Ranger. But when it comes to trusting others,...
