II Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” None of us should be shy about spreading the Gospel. To be blessed with the gift of eternal life is the most loving and precious gift anyone can receive. Why, when that gift is available to every believer would we not spread the word? We must all pray for courage to testify to the truth, live that truth and share in the marvels of that truth.

I Timothy 6:17 ‘Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.’ Anyone who puts their security in earthly assets is gambling with a certainty of calamity. Anyone who puts their security in the surety of eternal life with their Heavenly Father because of the redemptive work of their Savior enjoys the assets of this life as blessings from God. Enjoy and be secure.

I Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. The keys to unlock the door leading to success do not include a key to a giant tax-free municipal bond or a huge 401k account or great rental income—these are all fine, but the golden keys unlock a heart of faith-filled relationship with your and my Heavenly Father. Those are the keys to hold and never let go.

I Timothy 6:9 “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.” Be focused. Wear blinders. Let nothing interfere with attaining your goals. Now–the question is–on what? Attaining wealth? Attaining earthly pleasures? Having your “barns overflowing”? Developing a firm and growing relationship with your Savior? Gaining the peace and comfort which is only attained through a strong linkage with our Father? You choose–stay focused–God bless your choice.

—– Forwarded Message —– From: Richard Waldschmidt Sent: Friday, July 11, 2025 at 07:32:30 AM CDTSubject: Contentedness is supreme I Timothy 6:6-7 “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.” Is this verse suggesting that life is purposeless? Far from it. What it is saying is that one is to not devote their life to the accumulation of earthly wealth and pleasure with never a wonderful and relaxed feeling of contentedness. Don’t compare–you will never win. What is contentedness? Pray, discover continually your God-given purpose. Use your talents while helping your fellow man and praise God without ceasing. Have a great weekend.
