Jesus teaches us a strange math, that when we give to others, we gain more back than we gave.

It was a very long time ago that I learned the basic math facts in school. If I have two hymnals, and I can find people to give me two more hymnals, how many hymnals will I have? Four. I came out ahead. And now that I have four hymnals, if I give one away, how many will I have? Only 3. I’ve ...read more

Giving is a gift. A troubled church at Corinth heard a word on it at the end of their first letter. Giving brings healing, because it brings us closer to God.

You know, we’ve been reading someone else’s mail here… There are a lot of personal problems in this church that this letter talks about.
