Hey there YouTube. Myron golden here. I want to talk to you about why I hate poverty so much. A lot of people wonder why do you talk about money all the time? They don't talk about money all the time. But the reason I talk about it a lot is because it's one thing most people and most Christians and most church going people and Bible believers and whoever else don't know enough about. So I hate poverty because poverty always says no and I hate always having to say no and always being told no. What do I mean by that? You don't have any money and somebody in your family is in trouble, they need help from you, you have to say no. Why? Cuz you can't help. I hate poverty because it restricts your choices. Bible says clearly no man can serve two masters will love one and hate the other, or despise one and hold to the other. Here's what I've discovered. A master is someone that controls you. I found for me anyway, money had far more control over me when I didn't have it does now that I have a lot.
