THE LOVE OF MONEY
1 Timothy 6:3-21
Kevin's Commentary
You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:
- Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Loving God, thank You for providing for me so well in so many ways. I always want to have a grateful spirit.
- Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
- Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. What does Paul say are some of the dangers of money? Have you experienced any of them? How could you pursue “godliness with contentment” today?
- God is ... What do we learn about God?
- We are ... What do we learn about people?
- How would you summarize Paul’s teaching about money? Do you agree?
- What is our society’s view of money? What is yours? How do they differ from the Bible’s teaching on the subject? Explain.
- Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. Get your checkbook or look at your bank account online. How have you spent your money over the past 30 days? What does it show you about your priorities?
- Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Ask God to show you what it means for you to realize real “godliness with contentment” in your life.
