  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - August 11th - 1 Timothy 5:17-18
    1 Timothy 5:17-18
    Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!”
    As the early Church grew, it inevitably had to face the issue of caring for its leaders. One of the very practical issues was that of pay. Paul had often supported himself through his work as a tent maker, but he had always insisted that it was appropriate for churches to take responsibility for paying for their leaders. Here he refers to the Old Testament law concerning oxen. When the sheaves of corn had been harvested, they would be laid out on the threshing floor and oxen would walk across them, often tethered to a post. The farmer was obviously keen not to lose too much of his crop, but he was commanded not to muzzle the ox. That wasn’t out of kindness to the ox so much as to ensure that he kept working effectively. It was just good common sense. In the same way, when Jesus sent out the 72 on a mission, he said that a worker deserved his pay (Luke 10:7).
    Paying church leaders is, of course, still a really important issue, and Paul sets out here the principles which should guide such pay. It isn’t possible to know exactly what was in Paul’s mind when he spoke about elders being paid generously, but there can be no doubt that he was declaring the significance of their role, and the importance of them being well looked after. Unfortunately, through the centuries, church leaders have become more famous for struggling to make ends meet. This reflects badly on the whole Church. I don’t believe that church leaders should be paid vast amounts of money, but it is vital that they receive pay which reflects the value of their work. If, like Paul, they are able to fund themselves, that is all well and good, but the church would then have the responsibility of finding other ways to be considerate and generous to their leaders.
    Question
    What can you do to ensure that your church leaders are looked after generously?
    Prayer
    Loving God, I thank you for the gift of church leaders. Please help me to honour and encourage them, and to ensure that their needs are met. Amen

  • Allen Jackson Ministries - #684: God’s Plan, God’s Promises & God’s People—A Heart for God

    It’s not often talked about in our culture today, but we can experience both God’s intervention in our lives and the consequences of our sin. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the anointing of King Saul over Israel in the book of 1 Samuel. He shares how the Israelites chose complaints over godliness, and how Samuel was obedient to the Lord even through rejection. The history of Israel teaches us many lessons, and in this chapter, we get to reflect on the condition of our hearts—so let’s practice repentance and strive to honor God daily.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - August 10th - 1 Timothy 5:8

    1 Timothy 5:8

    But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.

    In days before the welfare state, caring for relatives could be a massive responsibility, but Paul was clear that it was fundamental to Christian faith. It was usual in his society for families to care for one another, so it was crucial that the Christian Church didn’t lag behind. He could hardly have been stronger in his language. If anyone neglected their family responsibilities, they were worse than an unbeliever. It was unthinkable.
    Caring for our families is very different today. The state provides a huge range of care and pensions ensure that families are not alone in providing financial support for older people. Even so, the responsibility that families bear is still very great, and we should be grateful for the many charities that seek to help. One of them is Care for the Family, which offers a wide range of support for parenting, marriage and bereavement. However strong our families may be, there are times when we need encouragement, guidance and support from others.
    Eva Burrows, a former General of the Salvation Army, wrote: “In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.” These are great words, and families are a blessing, but that isn’t the whole story. We all know that families can be extremely hard work at times and create some of the most difficult tensions and challenges. That’s why churches need to be communities which actively support family life. We need to be honest with one another, joyfully celebrating the many times of joy and success but equally willing to share the times of brokenness and sadness.
    For Paul, Christian faith was never simply a matter of believing the right things and worshipping with fellow Christians. It was about living for God amid the storms and challenges of everyday life, and caring for the family was where it needed to begin.

    Question

    How has your Christian faith helped your understanding of family life?

    Prayer

    Lord God, we thank you for the gift of our families. Help us to love and support them through all the ups and downs of life. Amen
