Word: Write
Verse: Luke 16:6 " "And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty."
Application: This was a tough study, and admittedly so from the commentaries I read on the passage. It was about the shrewd manager and is sometimes misinterpreted that Jesus, in it, is condoning keeping false accounts. To the contrary, he never did but instead pointed out some qualities the man did have that could be followed. The commentary did a much better job of explaining it than I can, so from the BibleGateway. com commentary directly: "The Lord referred to in this parable commended not the fraud, but the policy of the steward. In that respect alone is it so noticed. Worldly men, in the choice of their object, are foolish; but in their activity, and perseverance, they are often wiser than believers"
Personal: Are there any was in which non-believers are being better stewards than I am--how can I learn from their example?
