     | 6,638 views

    Paul quotes a proverb that is instructive for believers as they bring their gifts before the Lord.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,337 views

    Labels are applied easily--some are undeserved, and some should be embraced. If we stand with Christ and His Word, we can anticipate vilification. Paul obviously expected elders to stand firming on some truths.

    “Teach and urge these things. If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for ...read more

    An examination of the deceitfulness of wealth. Paul warns against succumbing to the pursuit of money.

    “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and ...read more

     | 4,460 views

    Reach carries risks; but the child of God must always reach for the beautiful and the glorious.

    “When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. And he asked them, ‘What are you arguing about with them?’ And someone ...read more

    Paul's discussion of the benefits of Christian giving is discussed.

    “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

    Competing According To The Rules Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 24, 2015
     | 6,494 views

    Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

    I consider the initial verses of this chapter to be among the most significant verses of the book. They are, as well, perhaps the most neglected verses of the missive which Paul wrote. I confess that I am ploughing quite a narrow furrow in these expositions. Note that the Apostle appeals to ...read more

    How Will Your Epitaph Read?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 1, 2015
     | 7,220 views

    Life is preparation for death. How you administer your life now determines God's response to you and your place in the world to come.

    “Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself— ...read more

    First Share Of The Crops Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 14, 2015
     | 6,512 views

    Rewards come only after we work. The Apostle is encouraging those who are called by the Name of the Son of God to work diligently.

    “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” [1] Paul has presented a variety of images to illustrate the strong spiritual life expected of those who will follow the Master. As we saw in a previous message, the emphasis in these verbal pictures the ...read more

     | 5,367 views

    Delayed gratification is the norm for God's choice servants. Ponder how He works leads to a precious gift of understanding.

    “Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.” [1] Anticipate opposition and hostility if you are a Christian. Don’t seek conflict; but don’t be surprised when opposition arises. We Christians seek peace with all people and we will do all ...read more
