1st Timothy 6: 18 and 19
September 3, 2008
18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give generously to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them.
19 By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may take hold of real life.
- New Living Translation
18 Tell them to give their money to their church so they can pay the salary of the staff, the building payment, utilities, and fund the various entertainment events for the members. They should give generously and freely of their time to the church. This will free up time for the staff to refer those in need to the Salvation Army or Goodwill.
19 By doing these things they will be storing up church brownie points as a good foundation for the future possibility of being voted a board member, deacon, or some other power position. This will allow them to take hold of authority over others in the unrealistic world known as Churchland.
- Modern Church Translation
