A study of the book Money: God or Gift

Whatever you call it, the god of gold promises security, peace of mind, comfort, status, freedom, and all of our wildest dreams come true. From the Bible to the Beatles, however, our culture is filled with reminders that money can't buy what actually matters in life.

And yet money stills keeps us up at night. People worry about it, live for it, die for it, and even kill for it. Money: God of Gift presents a better way:

• Get money without getting greedy
• Spend money without shame
• Save money without stressing
• Give money without guilt
• Enjoy money as a gift without worshipping it as a god

Put money in its proper place, and be set free.

In the letter of 1 Timothy, Paul gives instructions that are intended to help Timothy establish and lead churches that hit the target: fulfill their purpose. By paying attention to Paul’s words to Timothy, we can make sure our church remains on-target too.

Life comes crashing down on us sometimes. Demands from every direction. Deadlines approaching. Family obligations. Overbearing bosses. Maxxed schedules. Not many of us have learned how to intentionally leave space in our lives - margin - so life doesn't crush us under its weight. Is there a different way to approach life so we can get it all done and leave room for the unexpected.
