What does Paul teach about parents and children saving money for each other?
Paul teaches that parents should lay up for their children, and children should not have to lay up for their parents; a person with a family must take care of that family. Accumulating wealth or an estate is not wrong when it is within God's timetable and plan.
Les explains that Paul says this in two different places: let the one who has a family take care of that family, because parents should lay up for the children, and children should not have to lay up for the parents. He notes that believers still function, work, and plan, and there is nothing wrong with accumulating some wealth or an estate, as long as it is in God's timetable and in His plan for your life. This fits with the believer's changed desires while still living responsibly on earth.
