Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 15, 2003

Many scholars believe this passage was based on a hymn that was sung by the early church. We all need to answer the question: Is Christ prominent in my life, or is He preeminent? He doesn’t just want a place in our lives, He demands first place.

Sharing Your Money Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Aug 24, 2005

I used to think that teaching what God says about giving threaten people. But I’m finding that when people start applying these truths, it’s really not threatening, but thrilling. It’s not a drudgery; it’s a delight.

We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more
