“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.
Luke 16:13–14
We serve many things, but just one master. It is possible to think that we are serving God, but if He is not Master, then eventually push comes to shove. The Pharisees definitely thought that they were serving God.
You can have office in the church, be meticulous about your doctrine and behavior, be thought of by others as a very holy man and a spiritual leader—and still, God's omniscient assessment of you may be "lover of money." How grievous that would be, dear reader!
