From Dr. Jonathon Baker, Course Instructor: 

MONEY....Evil or Good? People often confuse money with the Biblical injunction not to love money (1 Timothy 6:10).  One of the early struggles I remember having as a young man was the question about whether it was right to have a lot of money or make a lot of money... I'll give you hint...I have $10,000 in Debt by the time I was 21. 

For years, I didn't have much to worry about personally, but did struggle with how and what to do about money.  Upon one occasion I got myself into a tight spot with what I was preaching to my children, and what I was living.

In talking with a close friend on what to do, she said, "You got yourself into this mess, now get yourself out!" --Thanks Mom.

What brought on this dilemma were the many actions I had committed, followed by the many passages that seem to de-emphasize many and put "having a lot of money" into a bad category.  Such passages as: Luke 18:22, "Go sell all you have", Luke 18:24, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God !", Matthew 6:19, "Lay not for yourselves treasures upon earth"; etc.

Through the years I have tried to find a solution to the many questions and doubts on this subject.  It is obvious that the Bible has much to say about money and the grave dangers it can bring both physically and spiritually; yet, it also has given much to help us learn how to deal with money successfully.  God is all-wise, knows our needs, has richly provided for us, and knows we have needs to be satisfied on earth, and thus, has given us instructions in His Word that will give us the guidance needed.

At this point in my life, I still do not feel that I have ALL the answers on this subject, but I do feel that I have a better grasp than ever before.  The approach taken in these lessons is an attempt to explain from a Biblical and practical standpoint where I am in understanding of this all-important subject.
