Sacrifice

I Timothy 6: 10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s.

 

Do you know people who have lots of money, but it seems they still haven’t found happiness?

Folks who are protective of their money, in many cases, have wandered from the faith.

 

I love the old bumper sticker that says… “If you love Jesus—HONK!”

But there’s another good bumper sticker that says… “TITHE If you love Jesus—any fool can honk”

 

The purpose of our walk of faith, is to love God.

The Bible says that we should love God with all of our heart soul, mind and strength.

I think that also means with our wallets and purses.

 

We have been created to worship and love God.

We have not been created, to love what’s at the bottom of our bank statement.

 

When we understand all that we have been given to us by God—the only response there is, is sacrifice.

God so honors that, and He actually saves us from a world filled with grief when we do sacrifice.

 

Why people keep needlessly piercing themselves, is really beyond my ability to reason.

 

So if we miss a Sunday or two or three or four, does our deep sense of love for God, prompt us to write a check for all time that we missed?

That would be true love…
