Financial hardships
June 9, 2022
M Following biblical principles on stewardship and money brings blessings. But not always. Living on your income, no debt, except in specified circumstance, likely means margin and less financial stress.
V But consider this example in Scripture of a financial sacrifice. In Ephesus many practiced magic for financial gain. They owned books that gave them knowledge of magic. When they became believers they burned their books. Acts 19: 18—20 They were valued at fifty thousand silver coins. If they were denarii, it would be 5.5 million dollars today. If they were silver talents, that would be about 1.5 billion.
M Fact is they gave up their income, their skill set for tomorrows provision, what they knew, in order to be obedient to what they believed.
