1 Timothy 6:3–21

Click here to read today's passage on Bible Gateway.

Money, Money, Money
This is an issue that surprisingly we have spent very little time on in the blog.  Today's passage speaks of riches, money, and eternal perspective.  There is nothing wrong with money, but when it becomes a focus and goal instead of a tool, there is a problem.  Here are some Biblical passages and ideas having to do with money.  Click the verse links to see what the Bible says:

Everything comes from God
1 Chronicles 29:11–14; Colossians 1:15–17; 1 Timothy 4:4

Money cannot buy salvation
Proverbs 11:4; Ezekiel 7:19; Matthew 16:26; Luke 16:19–31; 18:18–25

Riches do not last
Jeremiah 17:11; 1 Timothy 6:17; James 1:10–11; Revelation 18:11–19

Money never satisfies
Ecclesiastes 5:10–11; Luke 12:15

Don’t show favoritism to the rich
James 2:1–9

Money carries responsibility
1 Timothy 6:17–19

Obey God rather than chasing after money
Psalms 17:15; 119:36; Proverbs 19:1; 1 Timothy 6:17

Be content
Philippians 4:11–13; 1 Timothy 6:8; Hebrews 13:5 [1]

In Revelations 18 11-19, who does the "her" refer to?

Greg

In context the antecedent of "her" is Babylon. It's not referring to literal Babylon though. In Revelation "Babylon" is the word used to refer to the world and its values that have risen up to replace God. This passage speaks of the destruction of those things, showing that wealth, even great wealth, does not ultimately last.
