“Money…money…money– MONEY! Some people got to have it! Hey, Hey Some people really need it…

” This song has a completely different meaning to me now than it did 30 years ago. Today I know the O Jay’s were referencing one of the most popular and misquoted verses in the Bible: ” For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”(1 Timothy 6:10).

Many people misquote the verse saying, “Money is the root of evil.” That is dead wrong and it is not at all what the Bible tells us about money. It is important to note that money is neither good nor evil. It is the love of money that is wrong. Loving, lusting, lying, dying and killing for money are where the evil lies. When one loses all perspective and sets money as his or her primary objective in life, money is the root of evil. When money is worshipped and becomes a god for a person is when money is used to manifest evil. Money is defined by the heart and soul of every man, woman and child who conceives of it, gains it, loses it, lacks it or gives it a way.

Money is for surety an evil god. Money, however, does not make itself an evil god; we do! According to Matthew 6:24:” No Man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.”

Regarding money there are two essential tests we must pass. The first test has to do with how we act when we have money and the second test has to do with how we act when we have no money. When you love money it becomes your master, but when you master money it will become your servant. So what are you? The central question here is the one that Christ posed. What does it profit you to gain all the money in the world and lose your own soul?

Moving forward it will serve you best if you decide to look at money as a tool. For instance, a hammer is a tool. It’s a tool of the trade for a carpenter and great and useful things can be built or repaired with a hammer. A hammer in the hands of a tantrum throwing three year old, however, is a potential danger. A hammer wielded by an assailant against a defenseless victim on a darkened street is a harmful weapon used for evil intent. Do you see? It’s the intent that makes the hammer evil. It is the same way with money. Money has to always be regarded as a tool. As a tool, it can be used for good or bad. What are your intentions around money? Money, takes on the morals or values of the person who holds it. When money becomes your master, it can destroy your life. When, however, money is your servant, it can bless your life and the lives of millions of others. Listen now to what the O Jay’s said:

“For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight;

For The Love of Money!

Do not sell your soul for the money-

No, no!”

That is profoundly prophetic and powerful advice. I also love the way that Paul put in 1 Timothy 6:17: “Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage- to do well, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous. If they do that, they’ll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life.”

Wow, you go boy, that’s what I am talking about! Being rich in atonement with God is what is important in life. When you master money and put it in the proper perspective for the tool that it is, it is then and only then that you are on the road to wealth and abundance greater than anything you may have ever even conceived of before. When you begin to understand that reciprocity is an energy and force of God that keeps all things growing and moving.

Remember, Christ said that it is better to give than to receive. It is about sowing and reciprocity. When you sow, you reap. You can be rich, but first, so that your wealth is real, let us seek to be worthy.

No Cost Credit Repair and Debt Busting Strategies

Over 339 major U.S. lenders have imploded since late 2006, according to

ml-implode.com. An imploded lender is one that has filed bankruptcy, ceased operations, had a fire sale acquisition or closed major divisions of the company. The lenders that remain in business have tightened credit approval guidelines significantly, making it more difficult for people to qualify for loans. Because of this, it is now mandatory for people to repair their credit if it needs it.

You can learn credit repair and get out of debt strategies at the upcoming free workshop, “How to Survive the Financial Crisis” presented by Vicky Spring Love, entrepreneur and author of Stop Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, and Ken Brown, McDonald’s Franchisee and Award Winning Author of A Leap of Faith.  The workshop will be held Saturday, March 28, 2009 from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Wayne County Community College, Laboratory Science Building Room LSB 133 on lower level, 8200 W Outer Drive, Detroit, MI 48219.

This workshop is co-sponsored by Wayne County Community College District and Ken Brown International. Although this is a free event, seating is limited so registration is required. To register online, please go to http://kenbrowninternational.eventbrite.com.

At this life changing workshop, attendees will learn guerilla budget-stretching strategies designed to maximize money now, profit-making ideas for a down economy, how to get and keep an excellent credit score, how to work on your business not in your business, Bible-based financial success principles, and how to keep your faith strong in a down economy.

In the past, people with low credit scores and marginal credit could still qualify for a mortgage loan using a sub-prime mortgage product. Now that sub-prime mortgages have largely disappeared and even the conventional loans are requiring higher credit scores, it is imperative that everyone seeks to get and maintain the highest possible credit score.

Oftentimes in the past, people have accepted bad credit as simply “the way that it is.” This is no longer an acceptable attitude as it may prevent you from being able to participate in the American Dream of homeownership, may cause you to pay higher interest rates on loans and credit cards that you do secure and may affect your employability.

Credit scores are so important because they are used by so many different organizations that affect your financial well-being. Mortgage companies, auto loan companies, auto and home insurance companies and many employers use credit scores.

How to Profit in Financial Crisis

Learn “How to Survive the Financial Crisis” at a workshop presented by

Vicky Spring Love, entrepreneur and author of Stop Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, and Ken Brown, McDonald’s Franchisee and Award Winning Author of A Leap of Faith.  The workshop will be held Saturday, March 28, 2009 from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Wayne County Community College, Laboratory Science Building Room LSB 133 on lower level, 8200 W Outer Drive, Detroit, MI 48219. This is a free workshop.

At this life changing workshop, attendees will learn guerilla budget-stretching strategies designed to maximize money now, profit-making ideas for a down economy, how to get and keep an excellent credit score, how to work on your business not in your business, Bible-based financial success principles, and how to keep your faith strong in a down economy.

Presenter Ken Brown is a man whose stated purpose in life is to be a servant leader. One of seven children born to teenaged parents, he grew up in extreme poverty. The family was evicted on ten occasions, three of them occurring in just one year! Although the family grew up in poverty, his parents and grandmother instilled within him faith, a strong work ethic and hope for a brighter future.

After graduating from Southern Illinois University with a major in food and nutrition, Ken spent the next 12 years working in many facets of the food service industry. While serving as a waiter, Ken often served an attractive African American couple. The couple took note of Ken’s dedication and customer service. Ken later learned that the wife was the vice president of McDonald’s. She was impressed with Ken’s level of professionalism. Her influence in Ken’s life would later lead him to Detroit and to the complete financing of his two McDonald’s restaurants.

Ken’s story is an example of true faith and perseverance. Although faced with every challenge imaginable, he chose to trust God. He told me, “Life is about God’s grace, obedience and excellence.”

Presenter Vicky Spring Love is a 15-year veteran of the mortgage industry who has a keen understanding of what caused the current global financial crisis. She has owned several business ventures including a real estate investment firm, a residential mortgage company and a communications company. Her book, Stop Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, was selected as the textbook for the Finances and Stewardship class at Destiny School of Ministry, which has 34 locations worldwide.

Vicky holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Detroit and a Master of Business Administration degree in Finance from Oakland University. In May 2009, she will complete studies to earn her doctorate of Religious Studies degree from Destiny Christian University.

This workshop is co-sponsored by Wayne County Community College District and Ken Brown International.
