—1 Timothy 6:13-19
by: Victoria Shephard.
Have you ever known someone who makes money their god, and hoards it? I do, and I sometimes wonder why they do so. It’s not going with us when we die, so what’s the point? Paul reminds us that money is no god; it is just a tool like any other gift from God, to be used for God’s glory. We are to be generous with what we have, to share with others. Yes, we should take care of ourselves and our families, but we should also “be rich in good works” (v.18) and give charitably.
