20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:20-23 KJV

If you’re a good soul, keeping every law,
You love your fellow man and God as well,
If you don’t follow Christ, this fateful flaw
Will drag you to the hoary gates of hell.
Don’t think if you’ve got money all is lost,
It’s where you place your trust and confidence.
Take up your cross like Him at any cost; *
Put all your hope in Christ at life’s expense.
The question’s this: what’s your priority?
What currency do you spend all your time?
It’s more than being willing that’s the key;
It’s what control your life’s the paradigm.
What drives your soul is what’s been sacrificed.
There’s power in the blood of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 6:24 (NLT) “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
James 1:6 (NLT) But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.
James 1:7 (NLT)
Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
James 1:8 (NLT)
Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
