# 24: A good question to ask yourself when making critical decisions: “What…. would…. Paul…. do?” What    would Paul do in any situation you face if he lived in our day? A sure way to attain Paul’s “crown of righteousness” is to imitate him. (Paul: “Imitate me.”) So     regarding finances….

Question: If Paul lived today, would he market his christian services and writings?
Hint: “We are not, as so many, peddling the word of God.”

Question: If Paul lived today, would he accept a salary?
Hint: “I will not be burdensome to you.”

Question: Would Paul work to supply his needs?
Hint: “Nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day.”

Question: Would Paul surrender a tenth of his income to a local church?
Hint: “You are not under the law but under grace.”

Question:Would Paul take Christ’s Great Commission seriously?
Hint: “I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named.”

Question: Would Paul accumulate “treasures on earth”?
Hint: “Having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”
