We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We know it isn’t ungodly to teach about money because the Bible is full of instructions on the subject. You’ve read the statistics: 1. The Bible has five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred verses on faith, but over two thousand verses dealing with money and possessions. 2. The book of Proverbs alone is filled with instructions about money. 3. It has been said that Jesus talked more about money than about any other subject. Of Jesus’ thirty-eight parables, sixteen deal with money management. 4. One out of every ten verses in the gospels has to do with money or possessions – a total of 288 verses. 5. There is more said in the New Testament about money, than about heaven and hell combined. If God thought it was important to talk to His people about money management and giving, you and I have no right to neglect these parts of His word.

I [do not] necessarily understand every decision or... agree with every action the various levels of government have taken. But that’s the very nature of submission. God doesn’t call us to follow leadership only when we fully agree with it. It has struck me that the New Testament’s posture toward civil leaders is generally positive. It seems to nudge us toward the assumption that governments are acting wisely, not foolishly; that our opinion toward their actions should generally be favorable, not skeptical; that our words about them should be supportive, not rebellious; and that our response to their decrees should generally be submissive, not resistant. Romans 13:1-7 is not about the limits of governmental authority, but about the goodness and necessity of Christian obedience. The same is true of 1 Peter 2:13-17 and Titus 3:1, not to mention Matthew 22:21.

    1 ויען איוב ויאמר׃
    2 גם היום מרי שחי ידי כבדה על אנחתי׃
    3 מי יתן ידעתי ואמצאהו אבוא עד תכונתו׃
    4 אערכה לפניו משפט ופי אמלא תוכחות׃
    5 אדעה מלים יענני ואבינה מה יאמר לי׃
    6 הברב כח יריב עמדי לא אך הוא ישם בי׃
    7 שם ישר נוכח עמו ואפלטה לנצח משפטי׃
    8 הן קדם אהלך ואיננו ואחור ולא אבין לו׃
    9 שמאול בעשתו ולא אחז יעטף ימין ולא אראה׃
    10 כי ידע דרך עמדי בחנני כזהב אצא׃
    11 באשרו אחזה רגלי דרכו שמרתי ולא אט׃
    12 מצות שפתיו ולא אמיש מחקי צפנתי אמרי פיו׃
    13 והוא באחד ומי ישיבנו ונפשו אותה ויעש׃
    14 כי ישלים חקי וכהנה רבות עמו׃
    15 על כן מפניו אבהל אתבונן ואפחד ממנו׃
    16 ואל הרך לבי ושדי הבהילני׃
    17 כי לא נצמתי מפני חשך ומפני כסה אפל׃
