Slave to Money then you Die.

   The modern world has upgraded from trading items to trading money for items.  Money is something you cannot live without; it is everywhere.  
  But just like anything else, money can become an idol; a sin. (I'm not only talking about money, but every materialistic thing.)
  People can be so obsessed with their material possessions, and begin to forget their virtues. Material objects, if worshiped, can also bring someone to be very selfish. 
"What do you want?" She jokingly asks her uncle.
"A million dollars," is his reply.
  Of course, "a million dollars" is just a joke; but after it is constantly repeated, it gets quite annoying, and can also show one a few characteristics of the one who is saying it.

  What God has given us is his; he has given it to us for a specific purpose: to help spread his good news.  When we turn on the television, we can see how God's word is NOT being spread; there are many commercials promoting the exact opposite of God: sin.  Influences like these train minds to be selfish, and rely on money as a source of life. 
   God is the only source of life.  And when you worry about money, you are essentially telling Christ you don't have faith in his promises.  He promised me hope and a future; he promised me all hardships will never be to hard for me to conquer. 
Live life to the fullest, and follow Christ in his footsteps; after all you only live once, do it the right way.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
