Evil Money

 Question: 

If money is the root of all evil, should I teach my kids that? We are not well to do but we live off one income. Shouldn’t we be teaching them to be good stewards?


Answer:

Money is not the root of all evil. But the love of money that is the root of all evil. 1 Tim 6:10. 


Jesus Himself was a businessman in the carpentry industry. Why is he a business person? Because he was not employed. He was self-employed. He had his family business on his shoulder as the oldest Son when Joseph died. Do you think he was a terrible business person? I don’t think so.


It is our responsibility to teach our kids to invest and prosper. It has always been God’s will for us to prosper. His desire is to give us a hope and a future.


God did not ask us to be poor. He asked us to help the poor.

Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Proverbs for the ministry

There is no glamour in full time ministry - it's all hard work, labour and toil and I love it. Ministry is when people use you, mock you, make fun of you, spit at you, push you around and hate you - that is true ministry.
