All the sinful states of our hearts are owing to unbelief in God's super-abounding willingness and ability to work for us in every situation of life so that everything turns our for our good. Let me illustrate from a familiar text that tends to puzzle us. I think he meant that all the evils in the world come from a certain kind of heart, namely, the kind of heart that loves money. It doesn't mean to admire the green paper or the brown coins. Ho everyone who thirsts, come to the waters.
Money is the currency of human resources.
So the heart that loves money is a heart that pins its hopes, and pursues its pleasures, and puts its trust in what human resources can offer. You can't trust or believe in God and money. Belief in one is unbelief in the other. So when Paul says that the love of money is the root of all evils he implies that unbelief in the promises of God is the taproot of every sinful attitude in our heart. Every message this fall will aim to illustrate this truth and confirm it and provide practical help for battling the root of unbelief that threatens to grow in our hearts again and again every day.
