You remember my post about
the pirate who loved money and died trying to keep it. Well, I read
this story about a customs official in Liberia who did not love money. At least not enough to accept a huge bribe for letting some cocaine through. It happened two years ago, but recently Mr. Karyea was honored by the President of Liberia for his integrity. Perhaps he was fleeing the love of money and pursuing righteousness and godliness...
1 Timothy 6:10-11
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. But as for you o man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
