Discussion Questions:
Note: Every Christian’s life and relationships need to be ordered in the following manner: God, taking physical care of oneself (if you don’t you cannot take care of others), family, (job falls here if it is for the provision of our family-1 Tim 5: 8 states: “If anyone fails to provide for his relatives, and especially for those of his own family, he has disowned the faith [by failing to accompany it with fruits] and is worse than an unbeliever [who performs his obligation in these matters]”AMP.), ministry, job, etc… If you do not have the time to provide for your family, you do not have time for service in ministry. But, be honest, what do you have time for? TV, e-mail, etc. Sometimes you’ll be surprised how fast time is “eaten” up by seemingly innocent activities.
