The love of money is a root of
all sorts of injurious things,
and bll reMhing out for tllis
love some have been led astrall
from the faith.-l Tim. 6,'
10, NW.
'VhiJe money is a defense
Christian parents should instill
in the minds of their children
true values, namely: 'Knowledge
does more good than
money, it safeguards a man's
life.' Since children will be of
the same understanding as
their parents, theocratic parents
will have the proper perspective
in gathering wealth,
being sure that it is always in
subjection to the important
thing in one's life, the ministry.
Money should be a means to an
end, rather than an objective
in life. Parents can do severe
injury to children if they are
too liberal with allowances,
giving them too much to spend.
Children need to be restrained
in this regard for their own
good, so as to learn to value
money and to handle it wisely.
It is not the possession of
money that is necessarily evil,
but the concern and esteem
that one places upon its possession,
causing one to be led
astray. W 5/1512, 13a

The wall of the wicked is like
deep darkness; thell do not
know over what thell stumble.
But the path of the righteous
is like the light of dawn, which
shines brighter and brighter
until full dall.-Prov.
4: 19, 18, RS.
Jesus taught that the true
religion was nonmaterialistic,
that it was the worshiping of
God "with spirit and truth."
Such true religion is actually
an ever-expanding intelligent
worship of Jehovah as guided
by his holy spirit. The true
religion is based on a series of
heaven-originated communications
of truth that have been
made known and recorded from
Adam's time to that of the
apostle John. These communications
from heaven make an
appeal to the mind and heart
of the true worshiper and hence
are essentially spiritual. Therefore
the one complete religion
progressively revealed through
the entire Bible makes up the
true religion today. To be up
to date on the true religion one
must keep up with the expansion
of true religion and be
familiar with all its steps of
development. W 3/1 2a

Jehovah knows how to deliver
people of godly devotion out of
trial, but to reserve unrighteous
people for the day of judgment
to be cut off.-2 Pet.
2:9, NW.
While it was Jehovah's purpose
to effect deliverance in
vindication of his name, yet as
far as individual men were
concerned, each had to take
action definitely proving he had
the qualities of virtue. If they
did not do this they would not
be exerting themselves on J ehovah's
side of the issue. A
course of unrighteousness is a
denial of righteousness and
therefore a denial of the righteous
God, and merits cutting
off. Those surviving the Flood
upheld those things that God
approved. A like course of
action today constitutes worship
of Jehovah, the exercise of
virtue involving the basic attribute
of love and including
keeping of integrity, faith in
God's Word, sure hope in his
promises, loyalty to him and
his cause, honesty before him
and before man, morality in
things personal and public.
Such a course will ensure us
deliverance out of trial and
life in the new world. W 11/1 ()
