Because we are seeing Paul at work in a real-life situation, the themes are entangled as Paul tells the story. But we will try to discuss the themes one at a time in order to explore each one as clearly as possible. This reminds us that motivation is not just a private matter, especially when it comes to money. The way we handle money shines like a laser pointer on the question of our sincerity as Christians.
As I grew into my teens then 20's and now into my 30's, my life was a mess. I carried the attitude of "I can take care of it myself." I had no direction, things I experienced as a kid haunted me and I was so angry all the time. As my life began to spiral and seemed it was at it's end, I broke.
There will be old rebellious habits to get rid of , and some new God-honoring ones to take on . If we turn to God and ask for forgiveness, trusting in Jesus as the resurrected ruler and savior, then everything changes.

I have asked God to use me to help homeless people get off the street. You said that our purpose is to do good works and glorify God. How can you do that if you don’t have any skills, talents, abilities, or finances needed to do these good works and glorify God in the process?

He will deceive not a few hundred people—like David Koresh and his Branch Davidians—but hundreds of millions! Yes, prophecy indicates that hundreds of millions of people will be deceived! That is exactly what will occur before Christ’s coming. But first, the modern descendants of ancient Israel will be brought down and punished by God through this system. These people will be punished as no peoples have ever been punished in modern history, because of their flagrant disobedience and their going after every ungodly abomination. Who, then, is this “lady” mentioned in Isaiah 47?
Although unemployed, I began to feel far less stress every day. It was like a weight had lifted from my shoulders. I hadn’t been happy with my job anyway, and it felt great knowing I could try something new. I started big by vowing to let my next relationship be decided for me. After all, my track record wasn’t so great. At this time, I had also been laid off from my job, making things even harder because I viewed my career as the other part of my life that made me complete.
