For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
You cannot serve God and money.
We should seek to honor God with our finances. Also using them to benefit others, not just spend it on the pleasures of this life on ourselves. Jesus called us to love our neighbors as ourselves, this is one way to do that.
Be a good steward and use your talents to help others and honor God.
