You can’t outgive God. He’s way ahead of everyone but he’s wanting us to share in his likeness and experience the fullness of grace. Part of that comes through being a giver like him.

Chapters 8-9 center on the subject of the grace of giving. A story was circulated some time ago about Arnold Palmer’s visit with a certain king. This king was impressed with Arnold Palmers golf record and as they talked the king wanted to give Mr. Palmer a gift. He tried to refuse at first, ...read more

Instead of New Year resolutions, consider making a New Years "Revolution". I offer Two to consider: 1: I will quit giving my money to the church. 2: I will make my feet more beautiful

All Jazzed Up Well, it’s that time of the year again when all good men and women prepare to fool themselves into believing they can truly keep a New years Resolution for more than a week this year. Now we could go the conservative route and make a resolution to eat more and exercise less, which ...read more

God wants us to share our resources generously with those who need them and for us to give in a manner that demonstrates faith.

INTRO: “The church is always talking about money.” “the minister just wants my money.” “they don’t care about me – just that I give my offering.” Such things are often said about churches – and sometimes, unfortunately, it is true. I heard of a church recently that has a little mini-sermon EVERY ...read more

Why should I give to the support of God’s work through my local church?

Over the last several weeks we have been taking a “Dragnet” approach to the subject of giving to God’s work. We have considered what the Bible tells us about the way God works. We have seen that Scripture teaches that God is at work in our world today to accomplish His purposes through His people ...read more

Effective Giving

The example of the Macedonian our Corinthian churches give us tremendous advice on the sensitive subject of tithing for NT believers today! Advice that is easy to understand requiring very little interpretation!

So much is said about tithing and yet it is probably the most difficult subject for me to speak on. I think it would be actually easier if the church was wealthy. Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more

Joy Plus Poverty Equals Wealth

World Hunger Sunday, 1989: We will find joy in giving if we make our giving a priority, if it is done proportionately and sacrificially, and if we see it as a privilege.

The notion is going around in some circles that poor people are happy people. Have you heard that? It’s a kind of romantic idea, that poor people are happy people, that when you have nothing you at least have each other, you at least depend on God … you know all the usual things that are said.
