Today's verse is 1 Timothy 6:4b-6 with Kim Matthews.
Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy. Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.
"What's striking here is Paul's reminder that true godliness with contentment is what really leads to real wealth. That's the heart of our message today: finding true fulfillment not in gaining the world but in walking with God."
