Love, sex, money, and power seem to be necessary for happiness in modern life. The bookstore down the street carries self-help and how-to books, promising success. But rampant divorce indicates lasting love is rare. Sexy advertisements imply one must buy their products for satisfying sex. Many yearn for a lottery jackpot, but only a few win. The corporate rat race shows that power is limited to the elite. The bookstore may not have answers, but God does. What does the Bible say about love, sex, money, and power?
Love, Sex, Money, and Power: A Devotional Commentary is a topical Bible study with a devotional emphasis. Biblical principles are valuable for everyone, but new-adult Christians (ages 18-30) will find this book especially relevant. Parents of teenagers may use this book for family Bible study. It includes personal stories and applications of what the Bible says about these topics.
Love, Sex, Money, and Power: A Devotional Commentary is not an academic commentary, but notes include definitions of key Greek words from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is the primary translation of the Scriptures. Other modern translations are also quoted. Features include meditations, a wealth of Bible cross references, and an index.
