FAITH
Giving is an active expression of our faith. It recognizes God as
our True Provider and affirms our confidence in His ability to
supply all we need. It’s an act of gratitude and
dependence.
Malachi 3:10 (NLT)
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so
there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD
Almighty, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour
out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in!
Try it! Let me prove it to you!
As we listen to God’s voice and seek His will for our lives, His
plan for giving will become obvious to each of us. In response,
we can eagerly give, knowing that it pleases Him. Through our
gifts, we prove faithful in the stewardship of all God has
provided for us, while He blesses us beyond what we can imagine.
FAITHFULNESS
Giving requires the highest standard of personal integrity and
discipline. It is not a casual or occasional thing. In 2
Corinthians 8-9, the Bible teaches we are to give willingly,
generously, and cheerfully. And our pattern should reflect a
regular and systematic plan.
