The Stock Market ... is it really that bad?

A man killed himself and his entire family because he was going broke (article is here). How very sad.

It is true that: "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money" (Mathew 6:24). This man, Mr. Rajaram seemed to have chosen money as his god. When his god could not help him he did not know what to do.

I wish I could say that this kind of evil will subside, but the scriptures are clear: "for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." As the market continues to be in turmoil, more evil will ensue. As people lose their money, they will lose their sense of contentment and security, then we can only pray they will turn to God instead of some kind of evil.
