TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - SEPTEMBER 4, 2019
Wednesday, September 4, 2019 at 1:27PM Teacher Balaam
Today is September 4, 2019
Welcome to September and your mid-week!
When God told Balaam not to curse his people, Balaam did as he was told. He did not directly curse God's people. No. He indirectly cursed them.
Giving advise to the Moabites, the Moabite women tempted God's people to sin and, in their sexual immorality and idolatry, God had no choice but to punish his own people.
Balaam did not directly curse God's people. No. He advised their enemies so that they would end up cursing themselves.
Why did he do this? For money. Balaam was greedy.
And, for centuries to come, he would be known as a false teacher. Peter, John, and Jude would all warn against being like Balaam. And that warning is for us as well.
Are we greedy with our money? Greedy with our belongings? Greedy with our time or energy or our very words? We might say we love someone and care about them; we might have the very message of life, but if we are greedy, if we are like Balaam, it corrupts that messages.
And that should not be.
God's blessing upon you as you strive toward generosity, toward Christ, and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
