“And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.” - 2 Corinthians 5:15.Most of us view our income as God's primary way of providing for us—and then, almost as an afterthought, we consider giving. But what if Scripture teaches the opposite? Paul David Tripp is here to flip our theology of money upside down.Paul David Tripp is the president of Paul Tripp Ministries, a pastor, best-selling author, and international conference speaker with a heart for connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. He has written over thirty books and resources on Christian living, including Redeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts.Why We Struggle to Be GenerousSin causes us to live with an obsessive self-focus, and money often becomes the most obvious place that focus shows up. We think first about what we need, want, and what dreams money can buy…and only then might we consider being generous with it.We need to recognize the tension between what God intends for our money, what we say we believe about Him, and how we actually live that out through our bank accounts.”Reversing the Order: What If Generosity Came First?Here's the big idea that flips our theology of money on its head:Most of us view our income as God's primary way of providing for us—and then, as a sort of afterthought, He also calls us to give. But what if Scripture actually teaches the opposite?What if God's primary purpose for money is that we would be participants in His generosity story? And then, almost as an afterthought, He uses it to meet our daily needs?”This idea is rooted in Jesus' words in Matthew 6:19–34, the “Treasures in Heaven” section of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus teaches that financial peace begins not with budget-savvy spreadsheets but with trust: You have a heavenly Father who knows what you need and promises to provide.Here are just a few of those promises:Philippians 4:19—“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”Matthew 6:31–32—“Do not be anxious… your heavenly Father knows that you need [these things].”Luke 12:24—“Consider the ravens…yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!”If God has taken the burden of provision off our shoulders and onto His, then we're free to have a bigger, more beautiful vision for our money.A Transformed Purpose: From Getting to GivingWhen we understand that provision is God's job and generosity is our calling, we begin to see money differently. Paul highlights Ephesians 4:28 to illustrate this:"Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need."Here's what's striking: The passage doesn't say, “so he can legally provide for himself.” The focus shifts from self-centered stealing to God-honoring generosity. It's not just a change in behavior—it's a complete transformation of the heart.God's grace reorders our motives. Without this grace, our pursuit of money will always drift toward self. And we'll try to squeeze God into the leftovers.More Than Mechanics: Recovering the Bigger PicturePaul also notes that many Christians get stuck in the mechanics of money:How do I get out of debt?How much should I give?Will I have enough for retirement?These are good and necessary questions, but if we focus only on them, we miss the greater story.Instead of starting with ourselves and hoping something is left for God, Scripture invites us to flip that approach. We're called to live as God's generous ambassadors on earth, using our money as an act of worship, love, and service.It's not about ignoring bills or forsaking grocery runs—it's about reordering our hearts.Freedom Through GenerosityMay God, in His faithful grace, continue to liberate us from our bondage to ourselves. He will liberate our wallets from their bondage to self-focus as He does.This isn't just about giving more—it's about being more like Jesus.When we align our theology of money with God's Word, we stop clinging to what we have and start participating in what He's doing. And in that act of radical generosity, we discover true financial freedom—not because we have more, but because we need less. God is enough.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have $36,000 in student loans with different balances and interest rates. I'm paying off the higher interest rate loans, but I heard I should pay the smallest balance first. Should I change my strategy?We're moving IRA money to a Roth, and our CPA suggests using a charitable gift account to pay for our tithe. I'm uncomfortable with this, feeling like we shouldn't use funds that gave us a tax benefit for our tithe.

Paul David Tripp said: “The book of Isaiah is really about people who have forgotten. Because of their forgetting, they are sent into exile, and [then] are restored again.

This week, Wes, Sonia, and Noah discuss the second part of chapter 3, "Here's Where God Is Taking You," in How People Change, by Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp. Often, when we're longing for change, we look around in disappointment at "what is" in our lives and dream about "what could be," instead. As Lane and Tripp point out, frequently God works for our good not by changing our circumstances, but by changing us in the midst of our circumstances.Click here to purchase a copy of the book: https://www.amazon.com/How-People-Change-Timothy-Lane/dp/1934885533

Pastor John Tucker and his wife Jane share comfort for those who have walked the painful road of sexual abuse by tactfully answering the following questions: Of all kinds of sin in this world, why is sexual abuse so devastating to the victim? For someone who has been abused, how do they know if it is something they still need to work through with a biblical counselor? What are wrong ways people deal with shame, and what is God's prescription for how to move forward to healing? How can someone move forward in hope and trust into a future relationship, not protecting what happened in the past in this future situation? For those who feel that they have “baggage” or are tarnished in some way, how can they place their identity in Christ instead of a past event? And if you're the friend of someone who has walked through abuse, how can you effectively come alongside and help bear that burden with them?  Website: smilingatthefuturepodcast.com Email: smilingatthefuturepodcast@gmail.com  Support The Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donorbox.org/smiling-at-2024⁠⁠⁠ Recommended Resources:  “Treasure in the Ashes” by Maria Brookins  “Trusting God” by Jerry Bridges “God's Battle Plan for the Mind” by David Saxton “Making all Things New” by David Powlison  “Instruments in the Redeemers Hands” by Paul David Tripp 

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: 7 Biblical Principles for Resolving Conflict at WorkDevotional: 1 of 7Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. (Matthew 5:9)In his excellent book The Peacemaker (which was hugely influential in my writing of this series), author Ken Sande defines conflict as “a difference in opinion or purpose that frustrates someone's goals or desires.”With that definition as our guide, it's easy to see that “conflict” is everywhere in our work. But the command to make peace is everywhere in God's Word. After declaring “Blessed are the peacemakers,” Jesus went on to dedicate huge portions of the Sermon on the Mount to the art of resolving conflict (see Matthew 5:21-26, 38-41, 43-48, 6:14, and 7:1-5). Commenting on that sermon, pastor Tony Merida says, “Clearly being a peacemaker is a big deal to Jesus!”It was also a big deal to Jesus's followers. As Ken Sande points out, “every Epistle in the New Testament contains a command to live at peace with one another.” Take 1 Peter 3:11 as just one example. Peter says believers “must seek peace and pursue it.”I am not a natural peacemaker. And I'm willing to bet that you'd admit the same. So, what will compel us to pursue peace per Christ's command? That brings me to the first biblical principle for resolving conflict at work…Principle #1: Praise the Prince of Peace for the grace and mercy he has shown you.You and I were once God's enemies (see Romans 5:10). But “since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (see Romans 5:1). And staring at the peace Christ has secured for us is the key to sharing peace with others (see Matthew 18:21-35). What does it look like practically to stare at the peace we've been given? Here are three ideas.First, get on your knees and remember what God has saved you from. One of my closest friends starts every day this way as a means of praising the Prince of Peace.Second, add a time of confession to your quiet time routine. Why? Because as Paul David Tripp points out, “No one gives grace better than [the one] who humbly admits that he desperately needs it himself.”Finally, breathe in grace and mercy. Sande says that Christians ought to be people who “breathe grace” in conflict. But “we cannot breathe out what we have not breathed in.” So, try this physical practice. Literally exhale slowly as you confess your sins. Then breathe in slowly as a means of physically representing the life-giving peace that Christ secured on your behalf at Calvary.

What does the gospel have for us in our suffering? How do we apply theological truths in our pain? Author and Bible teacher Paul David Tripp had a deep understanding of theology, especially when it came to pain and suffering. It wasn't until he walked through a season of physical suffering and chronic fatigue that those understandings he had in his mind became embedded into his heart. Through the difficulties and challenges of a medical condition that forever changed his capacity and revealed his limitations, Paul learned how the hope of the gospel can meet us in even the most painful days. His journey through that season and the lessons God taught him along the way are chronicled in his book Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn't Make Sense. In this conversation, Eric sits with Paul to discuss how suffering can lead to a deeper trust in Christ, the role prayer plays in our pain, and how God will bring a new level of understanding of theological truths when we are hurting. If you've found yourself wondering how the gospel applies to your pain, this episode will show you that the good news of Christ is for you in whatever you are facing.   Website: https://www.paultripp.com/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paultrippquotes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pdtripp Book: Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn't Make Sense https://a.co/d/0H5LbGC Do you need a reminder that in your story nothing is wasted?
