To get rid of a spiritual problem, we need to pull it up by its spiritual root. To pull up roots, we're going to have to be willing to get our hands dirty, to make some sacrifices that provides long-term benefits instead of short-term, refinanced gains. God is willing to help us, to provide the tools we need to weed out those areas where our desire for money is spoiling our fruit of the Spirit. Craig Groeschel
About This Quote

The spiritual root of our problems is not money. It is our spiritual nature. The issue of money comes up when we try to ignore our spiritual nature. It is the thought that we can be happy without having any money that causes us to want more and more money. God wants us to acknowledge our spiritual nature and see how it affects the way we live, the choices we make, and the goals we set for ourselves.
