貪財的心—-提摩太前書6:10［貪財是萬惡之根, 有人貪戀錢財, 就被引誘離了真道, 用許多愁苦把自己刺透了.］［故事］有一位老人, 妻子早逝, 幾位兒子又都不孝順, 老人孤苦伶仃, 生活艱難. 一天, 有貴重物品保管公司的工作人員送來一個大鉄箱. 說因時局不佳, 要老人自己保管此物, 怕負不起賠償的責任. 兒子們見到父親還有這一寶箱, 從此開始孝敬老人, 大家獻殷勤. 直到老人一死, 屍骨未寒. 兒子們便敲開鉄箱, 預備均分寶物. 但出人意外的是, 箱子裏竟然只是一堆石頭. 上面有一張紙條寫著”養老祕方：若無石頭, 餓死老頭.”［思考］當金錢成為人際關係中唯一的牽連時, 人就會顯得非常可怕. 甚至連親情, 友情, 愛情都可能丟去. 思考金錢在你心中的份量如何？［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 你的話語警戒我們, 不要貪愛錢財. 要以自己所擁有的為知足. 我們人心卻是何等的貪婪, 甚至為了貪戀錢財而背離了真道. 求主保守我們. 有知足感恩的心, 遵守祢的誡命, 愛人如已, 與人有良好的關係. 孝敬父母使我們在世長壽, 這是祢賜給我們第一條帶應許的誡命. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
The love of money – 1 Timothy 6:10 [The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people who love money are led away from the faith and pierce themselves with many sorrows.] [Story] There was an old man whose wife He died young and his sons were unfilial, leaving the old man alone and living a difficult life. One day, a staff member from a valuables storage company sent a large iron box. He said that due to the bad current situation, the old man was required to keep this thing by himself, fearing that he would be responsible for it. They could not afford to pay compensation. When the sons saw that their father still had this treasure box, they began to treat the old man with courtesy and courtesy. When the old man died, his bones were still cold. The sons opened the iron box and prepared to divide the treasure equally. But what was unexpected was that , the box turned out to be just a pile of stones. There was a note on it that read “Secret recipe for old age: if there are no stones, the old man will starve to death.” [Thinking] When money becomes the only concern in interpersonal relationships, people will appear very scary. Even family affection, friendship, and love may be lost. Think about the importance of money in your heart? [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, your words warn us not to love money. We should be content with what we have. But our hearts are so greedy that we even stray from the truth just to love money. Please protect us. . Have a heart of contentment and gratitude, obey Your commandments, love others as ourselves, and have good relationships with others. Honoring our parents will make us live longer on earth. This is the first commandment You gave us with a promise. Prayer is to the Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
