Day 106 - Read 1 Timothy 5-6

Paul charged Timothy to encourage older men and to care for the widows who were alone. Children and grandchildren were to care for widows, relieving the burden on the church. Those who would not care for their family were unfaithful. He warned against preventing pastors from preaching. The church was challenged to provide a double portion to faithful overseers, and to protect church leaders. Paul encouraged Timothy to drink medicinal wine for his stomach. Believers were called to seek godliness instead of worldly riches because worldly riches would lead to temptation and sin. He told Timothy to teach the rich to be generous, and to remain faithful to the gospel.
