Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." Matthew 6:24
The word used for money was 'mammon' which is a Syrian word for an idol who was worshiped as the god of riches. The word for 'hate' in this scripture and many others means, 'to love less'.
The master of our heart should be love, and God is love. If our hearts are set on riches and possessions then our time and thoughts will be about that. If our hearts are set on God and love, we will give our time to helping others with our money.
The Bible says, "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, craving for money have wandered from the faith..."
