Andy Stanley "How to BE Rich" Study of 1 Timothy 6:18

Andy Stanley biblically redefines what wealth is, how to use it, and helps you practice being rich so you will be good at it. Generosity was the hallmark of the early church. They did for those who could not give anything in return. Is that how people in your communities would describe you? This study is a tool that will encourage conversation and reflection around the topic of what to do with what we have. Jesus could not have been any clearer. It’s not what you have that matters. It’s what you do with it that will count for you or against you in the kingdom of heaven.

MORSEL FOR MEDITATION

"The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it."

John Ruskin

"Nations don't decay and collapse because of the people who peddle pornography or narcotics, but because of Christians who are no longer salt and light. God expects sinners to act like sinners, though He disapproves of what they do; but He doesn't expect saints to act like sinners. Compromising Christians not only hurt themselves and their families and churches, but also contribute to the decay of the whole nation."

The Rev. Warren Wiersbe,

former pastor of Moody Church in Chicago

Stewardship Today: "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master's joy' " Matthew 25:21
