Why God’s Economy Matters for the Great Commission Many Christians today have misconceptions about money. It’s often treated as something dirty or inherently evil, as if Scripture says “money is the root of all evil.” But that’s not what the Bible teaches. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The problem isn’t money itself; the problem is when we love money and what it can provide more than we love and treasure Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and the Kingdom of God. Th

They ought to have been teachers, but they needed milk again instead of solid food ( Hebrews 5:11–14 ). Comfort, it seems, had dulled their spiritual senses. The goo

Watch Out for the Deviations And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.” - Colossians 4:17 (ESV) At the closing of Paul’s letter to the believers in Colossae, he sends a message to his “fellow soldier” [1] .
