Contributed by Randall Long on Apr 1, 2019

Instead of fighting back when someone does us wrong, we can witness that He is greater than whatever has been taken from us.

You want to know how much money that thing is going to cost you and if you have enough money then to buy ...read more

"we're Fit To Be Tithed!"

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 11, 2020

A lot of us are reluctant to preach on giving. Churches are often criticized for their financial appeals, yet giving is an act of discipleship, devotion, and worship.

A minister wanted to impress his congregation with the need to increase giving. He described extensive repairs required to overhaul the sanctuary. Just as he was about to ask the ushers to come forward for the offering, a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling and hit a man square on the head. ...read more
