Money and Marriage
Marriage should be honored by all... keep your lives free from the love of money...Hebrews 13:4-5
In one passage the writer of Hebrews gives instructions about two key subjects for disciples: money and marriage (Hebrews 13:4-5). He realized that these were two areas that must be brought under the lord ship of Jesus. This week we will focus on those two areas. Money concerns us all. God's plan for marriage need to be understood whether or not we are currently married.
Money is not an evil. It is a necessity and the scriptures teach that it should be honestly earned. Read Ephesians 4:28, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 and 1 Timothy 5:7-8
what attitudes did you have toward money before becoming a Christian? What changes have you had to make?
What is the impact of the irresponsible person who does not do his or her best to provide for financial needs?
Read Hebrews 13:1-5. We all must deal with money, but what attitude must we be careful not to have? Why is the love of money at cross purposes with following Jesus?
Read 1 Timothy 6:17-19. We are "rich" when we have the ability to meet our basic needs and then have money left over that can either be used to give us luxuries or help others. Most of us are in this category. From v. 18 write down three or four things we should do with our "discretionary money."
