This is one of my favorite verses to help me battle materialism in my heart. In our culture this is one of the primary battles that we face on a day to day basis. Most of the time we probably are not even aware of it. May the "decietfullness of wealth" not choke out faith!
1 Timothy 6:6-9 (New International Version)
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
