What is your favorite portrait?
(Show some of my portraits through the years…and show some ‘scary family portraits’ [like the game].)
…and show some ‘scary family portraits’ [like the game].
No one is prepared for life who has not learned some basic lessons on financial prudence, a meaningful work ethic, and moral precepts for dealing with society
Duane Garrett, author.
The Challenge of Discipleship:
[1.] Theological teaching seen as ‘not practical’ [this stuff won’t help me live my daily life]
Example: systematic theology; doctrine of the Trinity, creation, (or…)
[2.] Practical teaching seen as ‘not spiritual enough’ [this stuff is just general/secular thinking]
Example: practical theology; social justice, handling finances, married life, (or…)
The answer to all of this confusion is...
We could also add that, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.”

In this passage in , over two Sundays, we will view three pathetic portraits which you and I never want to find ourselves in! [AND we will take these as God’s Word on these matters—because it is!]
Portrait #1: PLEDGED Perry ()
Primary Concern = Don’t cosign a note.
Don’t put up security/surety for a stranger—or a neighbor.
[Example has further implications…]
Debt dealings in OT Israel...
Reason this is an issue: [snared; trapped; in neighbor’s power; 6.2-3a]
Financial Peril [lending in Israel done without interest to other Israelites; even no usury to loans to non-Hebrews;
Legal Peril
Relational Peril
Recommended Remedy:
See it as a matter worth losing sleep over.
[6.4]
Fight like everything to be freed.
[free yourself; humble yourself; plead with your neighbor (same tenacity as the widow before the judge ; escape like gazelle or bird from hunters; 6.3b, 5]
…to the poor & needy (especially a brother or sister)…give.
