Perilous times-2 Tim 3:1-6 |
Love of money root of all evil-1 Tim 6:6-10 |
The mentality of today's world is running after earning more money than the
requirements.The more the earnings the more cravings for profits,the more
profits the more cravings for extending the earning methods of profits.What is
done witht money earned in millions ,billions & trillions? Does is anyway
helpful for the implementation of divine purposes and uplifting the humanity
from its various sufferings?
Trust in God who richly provides us-1 Tim 6:17-19 |
"Command those who are rich in this present world not
to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to
put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our
enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be
generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for
themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold
of the life that is truly life"(1 Tim 6:17-19).
Once
a God servant gave a tract to an young
man at a bus terminal.The young man being bolt from the blue immediately asks what is this?
God
servant: It’s about eternity!
Young man: dumbfound asks what is eternity?
God
servant: sidetracking the issue of eternity,the God servant asks the youngman,what
are you studying?
God
servant: what will be your future plannings?
Young man:Getting better job ,getting married,to
give birth to children,make them to study in a great business/engineering
school,
God servant: After that?
God servant: After that?
Young man:Making the marriage of sons,taking care
of my grand children,their education,their future life,their marriages,meanwhile
developing my wealth with the money I have earned.
God servant:After that?
Young man;What else? I will become old and will be
taking treatment in the hospitals to take care of my health.
God
servant:Aftert hat?
Young man: What else? I may die one day leaving all
the beloved ones.
Think eternity |
Young man: soundless for a while,I don’t have any
idea after life.
God
servant: Then he started telling him about heaven and hell and said that
running after money and earning wealth would become means meaningless motive if
come short to the glory of eternal life. Believing in Jesus and his sacrificial
death will bring salvation for eternity and forgiveness of all our sins.The
true richess are the richess which have eternal means.
