I TIMOTHY 6:10

10 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.

EXPERIENCES.1_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 47-1207

E-12 And then a following Sunday I come right on down here. That was on Friday. And Sunday I come here, and not knowing what part of a Scripture... I never get to read in the Bible, but I got the 22nd chapter of the book of Numbers, and in there I begin to speak on the prophet Balaam, got up to his part, and when he came down, and how God told him in the first place, "Don't not go with them men." But then he prayed again and kept on, and--and finally I believe for Balaam, it was the love of money is the reason that he wanted to go. I'm not sure; I've never knowed till I come in. I don't think... It was the love of money. But in my case it wasn't the love of money, it was a sympathy for human beings. And no matter little or how big, it's all wrong to disobey God (That's right.), regardless of what it is.

110 He stood there when that woman was healed out yonder, the Melikians in California. You seen it here in the Louisville paper. When they come here, two of those agents and brought a million, five hundred thousand dollars, and offered it to me when I lived in this two-room shack. I said, "I don't even want to look at it. No, sir. No, sir." The love of money is the root of all evil. Keep away from that stuff.

AT.THY.WORD_ CONNERSVILLE.IN MONDAY_ 53-0608E

E-6 Now, not because they wouldn't, them dear people would--would be willing to cut their arm off for me. But I just didn't want them to do it. So I always know that that's one weakness of ministers that usually takes them out of the harness of God, is money. So "Love of money is the root of all evil." So we come here, all the Branhams is vagabonds and as poor as they can be. I want to be like the rest of them.

INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

E-19 And a man's character is shown in his works. Or a man shows his--his character by his works. We know that. Just like a contractor, a contractor shows what he is by his work. For instance, if we was going to have a great building built here in the city of Chicago, the first thing the officials of the city board would do, they would try to select a contractor. Just not any one that run in and said, "Well, I can do the job, all right," they're going to get a contractor that's got a reputation. And now, because if they didn't, maybe another contractor would underbid that contractor. But he would put in the building bad material, and perhaps he would build it thousands of dollars less. And then we come to find out that the building collapsed. The first storm hit it, it went down. What do you think the city would think about that contractor? It would ruin his reputation forever. That's right.

Perhaps, what if it would have been a school building, or something where many little children was seated in the school, and the--the bad material that was put in the building gave away and collapsed and killed hundreds of little children? What would those parents think of that contractor, for the love of money, caring not abouthis reputation, and done a job like that? Oh, my, they'd think he was a horrible person. And he would be. No doubt he'd have to be what we would call a scalawag, that would do a trick like that, put such a goods in a building that had such a great price that it was to hold up. And then, with so much in common of little children, that had to be seated in here, and would go and put bad materials in it, and the first thing you know the foundations would give away and away it would go. He would be an awful person to do a thing like that.

QUEEN.OF.SHEBA_ SASKATOON.SK FRIDAY_ 57-0517

E-22 May I say this with reverence. It's tonight that when God calls men, many times he has to step out of the political ranks, out of the social ranks, and walk out into a place, if it would be necessary, if his associates had to say, "He's gone crazy, or become a holy roller." But it's that secret place; it's that spot. Oh, don't miss it, my loyal friends. Every one of you that's received Christ, of all your teachings, your fine pastors, and your great affiliations with your churches (which is all right, don't misunderstand me), but you're trying to place that before this. But that little time that God gets you away from all your associates, gets you way back in the corner, brings you into a place, in a secret place, where that the wisdom of the world becomes so unsufficient, to where all the education that you ever had, doesn't mean nothing, into that divine Presence, till the lust of the eye gets so dim you can't see it anymore; until the love of money is completely vanished away from you; and when you stand there alone with Jehovah God, that's the things that counts. That's the things that makes you forget all you ever knew.

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.3_ JEFF.IN HEB SUNDAY_ 57-0901M

93-34 When Judas fell by transgression (by the love of money and the pride of life), he fell from grace, and went to his place. And the disciples said, "There must be twelve." And the church, with all of its dignity, to show you what the church is, with all of its dignity, and all of its power; it's still millions of miles short at its very best. They said, "We've got to look out one among us who'll take the place." And they chose by casting lots, Matthias (Mattheas, I believe, or Matthias) Matthias, I believe it is. And whenever they chose him, and put him with the twelve (with the eleven, which made up the twelve), he did not do one thing. That's the only time his name's ever mentioned in the Scriptures. That was the church making it's choice.Now, they thought, "He is a gentleman." No doubt. "He's a wonderful man. He's a scholar. He's smart. He's educated. He's a wonderful person. He would take the place of Judas and be one of us." But you know, God sometimes makes some of the (to our opinion)--some of the most foolish choices.

QUEEN.OF.SHEBA_ BEAUMONT.TX THURSDAY_ 61-0119E

E-22 He said, "I believe if them temple priests would have listened to Him, we'd been better off today."

And I said, "Then you believe... What about it?"

He said, "I believe He was a good man."

I said, "Rabbi, do you believe He was a good man?"

Said, "I'll go farther than that with you. I believe He was a prophet."

I said, "That's all I want you to say. Then He said He was the Son of God. And then, if He was a prophet, He can't lie. So therefore, you believe He was the prophet, the Son of God; He showed the sign of Messiah."

And he wouldn't talk to me no more, and he went in the place.

Oh, brother. What that love of money will do. What a love of some ecclesiastical form will do. But what the love of God will do then, to a heart that's willing to surrender to the will and ways of God.

QA.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M

505-2 {291} Now, Castro, the only sensible thing that he ever done, was when he counterfeited the currency and paid off the notes, the bonds and burnt them and--and changed the currency. That's the only thing he could do. And there's only one thing left for this United States to do. Now, remember, this is William Branham (See?), speaking. This is my idea. It's only presuming. Just looking at it in the natural standpoint, which may be a million miles off, I do believe that right there in that money... The love of money is the root of all evil. And I believe that right along in there will start the ball a-rolling.
