Show me the money!

Just in case you're wondering, that line is from the movie 'Jerry Maguire' :-)

Money, or should I say wealth, is one issue that Christians tend to take extreme stances on. I've been to churches when all that was preached were prosperity messages that emphasized the 'blessings' that God wants to shower on his children. It always seemed like God's reward to his faithful servants was some kind of financial gain.

On the other hand, I know people that think money is evil and that Christians should not seek to be rich on earth but should wait for heavenly treasure. Let me say that there is heavenly treasure, but I don't think it's God desire that we struggle through life and hope that we'll someday be put out of our misery so we can finally enjoy this heavenly treasure.
We say "[God's] will be done on earth as it is in heaven", yet we don't believe this applies to our material success in life. I often hear this quite and it drives me crazy because I think "that's no even right":
" Money is the root of all evil" or "The love of money is the root of all evil"
But what does the Bible actually say?

1 Tim 6:10
 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. ..
In other words, loving money leads to different evils but money itself is not evil and is not the cause of the world'

Let's think about that for a second...
