Jesus tells some stories here that are harder for me to understand, yet are very direct and less gracious than normal. -When did they add verses 1-9? I don't remember ever reading this. Is verse 9 saying I should buy friends with my money? I don't get the point of this story. -The last half of verse 18 seems too judgmental. I don't like it the way I read it.

I feel like being a follower makes you a manager as well. That sounds weird but I have to manage my time with my God, Husband, kids housework, bills, you know all the stuff that life brings to the table. I hope I can be a good manager for God. I have been working for a long time on captive thinking and mantenance is a huge part of that for me. Bringing every thought into captivity is a lot to do sometimes...somedays harder than other. Have a great day everyone:) Manager…that’s what sticks out to me. I feel like being a follower makes you a manager as well.

One Bible study method is to try to determine the one word in a passage that sums it all up. Listen…that seems like a critical word in this passage.
