DESIRE

Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show
For love or money, money, money...?
And the fever, gettin' higher
Desire
Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king asking for justice, and so he stole the hearts of the people of Israel. 2 Samuel 15:6 NIV
 
For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. 1 Timothy 6:10 NABRE
 
Then the Lord said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and delusions of their own minds." Jeremiah 14:14 NIV
 
Cf: Then what is my reward? It is when I preach the Good News without you paying me. I do not ask you to pay me as I could. 1 Corinthians 9:18 NLV
