We must be careful in our quest for more money, success in business, or social position. In these areas it’s easy to “fudge” a little on our taxes, our resume, or pursue social relationships for the purpose of knowing the “right people” All of these, directly or indirectly indicate a lust for riches, fame or position.

But godliness with contentment is great gain,for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
