No one can serve two Gods:

Matthew 6:24
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."
Pre-write:
I believe the first sentence says it all, you cannot serve two masters. Two things of a different kind have a different outlook on things of this world. For example, money has an outlook that it can "buy" happiness. And God, has an outlook that says "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." You can either hate God and love money, or you can love God and hate money. And im not saying don't use money or be against using money or havig money, but be wise and make wise decisions with your money. ALso, in Proverbs 28:25 it says, "A greedy man stirs of strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched." What is enriched? to be blessed? to be happy with what the Lord gives and takes away from you? It's yet so simple to understand that having faith is also apart of this mess. If you do not have faith, you will fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge us into ruin and destruction. (1 Timothy 6:9)
Freewrite: Personal definition:
Destruction. To destroy. To ruin. A powerful word that has a dangerous meaning to it. When I think of destruction, I think of someone or something being torn apart or torn down by a situtation or desire in that person's life. I have been in that situation of feeling like something was destroying my life, in a matter that I started to feel worthless and the only thing I had to do was get rid of that desire to release the destruction in my life, but it's easier said than done.
a. Destruction- something destroying or ruining a person's faith.
b. Destruction - To fall from the hands of God into harmful desires.
c. Destruction - Leads to strife and unjust gain.
