DMA,
Woouldn't that depend on the object of the love. Yes, God is to be loved above all, but we are expected, by Him, to love our spouses, our children, and other kinsmen, as long as they do not come before Him. I had not heard the concept of loving anything, other than God, to be the root of all evil, but am familiar with the common mistake the "money is the root of all evil" when in fact, it is the love of money that is, at least, one of the major roots of evil. Some of the things we see society doing these days is a perfect example of the love of money leading to evil.
