The Rich Man's Charge

A pointed sermon on 1 Timothy 6:17-19 preached before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London, charging the wealthy to handle their riches with humility, generosity, and eternal perspective. Reynolds warns against the spiritual dangers of pride and trust in uncertain wealth, urging believers to be rich in good works and to lay up a foundation against the time to come. A searching word for any age in which prosperity tempts the soul away from heavenly treasure, calling Christians to view their wealth as a stewardship from God, who gives all things richly to enjoy.
