Today: [1 Timothy 6:] Class Warfare and the Kingdom Perspective: In the final chapter of 1 Timothy Paul addresses the subject of slaves and masters. Servants are to remember in spite of their station in life that they are not excused from the dictates of good Christian character just because they are disadvantaged. Likewise, believing slaveholders are admonished to treat their slaves as brothers in Christ. Does class warfare exist for us today? What should be our posture in the midst of a world seething with envy and hatred? Paul addresses these profound issues in words very appropriate for our day as well as in ancient Ephesus.
