On a new series Generosity Stories, Pastor Josh did emote
He said that "money is THE root of ALL evil" is a misquote
Regarding money, he took us through the biblical perspective
In other words, how with our money we should all try to live
In Genesis twelve, God told Abram to go and then be blessed
Similarly, God blesses us so we can bless others with zest
God enables us to produce wealth, per Deuteronomy eight
Money is a good tool, but as a god it really should not rate
For we cannot serve two masters, per Matthew chapter six
Clearly God is more important, for only He can our flaws fix
Who we are internally matters more than appearances external
For our priorities not our looks that determine our fates eternal
After survival and then success comes a fork, Josh then said
People and nations can become significant or selfish instead
Per Matthew seven, the gate is narrow and difficult is the way
To be significant is quite hard but doing so is to our God obey
Pastor Josh focused on First Timothy six verses six to nineteen
For in Paul’s letter to his spiritual son many core truths are seen
Godliness and contentment combined are a strong combination
Not being complacent or covetous leads to God’s commendation
We should give thanks for all that God has done, Josh did say
But striving for more in life is not a sin, in fact it is quite okay
And when we are really blessed, good stewards we should be
As falling in love with our money is not what God wants to see
The LOVE OF MONEY is A root of ALL KINDS of evil, Paul said
It turns our hearts away from God and thus leaves our faith dead
Righteousness, love, and gentleness are what we should pursue
For eternal life comes from trusting God in all that we say and do
Do good, be rich in good works, be generous, and ready to share
God will always provide for us; for our needs He will always care
Paul said to take hold of life that it truly life, that is from
heaven
Jesus is the resurrection and life, Josh quoted from John eleven
