> For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...

1 Timothy 6:10 NRSV

So, just for random theological context, money itself isn't good or bad - it's just a convenient token of value... But it's the love of money, ie, the desire to possess and control value that you can use to get things from others, and somehow find security and worth in your possessions that is the big problem. And not "the" root of "all" evil, but "a" root of "all kinds" of evil...

[swat535]

This is true, to expand a bit I would say that love of money is greed and greed is a sin which taints the soul.

In Christianity the two most important commandments are the love of God above all and your neighbour second (Matthew 22-35) so following this you should use your earthly processions to feed the hungry and help the poor as Jesus would have (remember how the bread multiplied when it was shared..)
