I Timothy Chapter 6 - October 31, 2008

6:1 - With husbands, with wives, even here with slaves, the point is not that we should put up with horrible situation by painting on a smile...the point is: the way of Christ is a way of submission...a way of others first. In every area of our lives, we honor God by putting others above ourselves.

6:4 - This is something that I need to remember...winning every ridiculous argument is not the way to reflect God's love in this world. Humility and respect are not often found in the ranks of the absurdly argumentative.

6:7 - So simple...so true...and so far off from the way we live. WHAT IS WRONG WITH US! 

6:12 - We can take hold of our eternal life now! We can grasp it in our present, finite lives! Never forget the confession you have made and never forget the world/kingdom you have been called to live out now. The kingdom of heaven s now...the kingdom of heaven is here when we bring heaven crashing to earth through the path of Christ.

6:16 - Love that description of God/Jesus. That is what he gave up to come down to earth and die for us.

6:18 - The only type of wealth we should be chasing after...a wealth of God-honoring good deeds and generosity.
