We're told to chase the bag, but the Bible says it's chasing us that ruins everything.

We're told to hustle harder, earn more, and chase the bag like it's the goal. But 1 Timothy 6:10 hits different: it's not money that's the problem. It's the love of it.

The bag isn't chasing you toward freedom. It's chasing you away from it. God isn't anti-money. He's anti-slavery.
