Our lifestyle should bear the evidences of our heavenly citizenship (Philippians 3:20), in that it indicates where our treasure is. While on the one hand we are to be marked by the willingness to work hard (2 Thessalonians 3:7–10), it is to be equally clear that the love of money is not our motivation (1 Timothy 3:3), and that we want nothing to do with dishonest gain (Titus 1:7). Although it may be a hard path to follow, we should accept whatever salary God’s people choose to give, leaving it to others to act on our behalf.
