When money is your only goal,
you’re on the wrong track
Q: When our family got
together over the holidays we
began talking about what we
wanted out of life, and one of
my cousins answered with one
word: money. I guess I’ve never
thought about this much, except
to be happy. Is my cousin on the
right track? Should this be my
goal, too? — K.G.T.
A: No, your cousin is not on
the right track (assuming his
answer was sincere). Being total-
ly absorbed with money leads to
greed, and blinds us to things
that ought to be important to us
also (such as our families).
Money has its rightful place,
of course, and it’s not necessar-
ily wrong to want to do well and
prosper in our careers. But when
money becomes our only goal, it
takes over our lives and crowds
out everything else. It also feeds
our desire for power, and causes
us to ignore the needs of others,
using them instead for our own
selfish desires. The Bible warns,
“For the love of money is a root
of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy
6:io). Jesus said, “No one can
serve two masters.... You can-
not serve both God and money”
(Matthew 6:24).
But what should your goal

be in life?
Instead of
casting around
and trying to
come up with
something
that seems to
interest you,
let me sug-
gest a far bet-
ter way: Seek
God’s goal for
your life. God
made you and put you here for
a purpose — to serve Him and
live for Him. Begin by turning
to Jesus Christ, asking Him to
forgive your sins and come into
your life. Then seek God’s will
every day, in both small things
and big things. In addition, pray
for your cousin, that he may real-
ize he’s presently on a dead-end
road, and may give his life to
Christ.
