a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

TAMPERING WITH SIN
Chocks Out the Word of God.
.
An Exhortation
by Linda M. Brown
Tampering with Sin can cause Christians’ many problems with their walk with God; to give you an example, we must go to the root that causes sin to happen. Like having “envy”, this is the desire to have items or experiences that someone else processes. You become jealous of what God has given another and you become envious. This is not how God wants His people to act. We should be joyful when another Christian receives their blessing. After all they had to endure the battle, they had to fight the good fight of faith, and they had to wait on the Lord to get the blessing. Another example is “greed” means an excessive pursuit of material processions. Gods’ people become so involved in worldly processions, that it begins to choke out the
the word of God, which helps us to grow in His grace and knowledge. All sin goes against the roots of Christianity that is love for God, love our fellow man, and love for our bodies, keeping them clean temples for God. Ref: (I Cor.6:19-20)
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

“But Godliness with
Contentment is Great Gain.”
by Dennis Lee Brown
1 Timothy 6:6 | View whole chapter See verse in context
“Godliness with Contentment,” just being satisfied with what you have and living a godly life is great gain. In other words having sufficient material goods and the necessities of life: food, shelter, clothing will make one at peace if they are not lusting after goods that belong to others. We must learn to be satisfied and comfortable with what we have no matter what state we find ourselves.
Apostle Paul explained in Philippians 4:11-13
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
In 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Apostle Paul addresses Timothy Study concerning covetousness and greediness stating, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.
