God wants us to take care of our money and be generous with it. Generosity is the opposite of greed and worshiping money. It doesn't matter how much money we have, we can all be generous.
Let's do a little experiment. I have here a $20 bill. Who wants it? (Pause for response) Okay, now what if I crumple it up? Still want it? (Pause for response) What if I step on it, make it dirty? Still want it? (Pause for response) Of course, you do! Because no matter what I do to it, it's still ...read more

Your attitude in giving can make a difference in how your giving impacts kingdom work and glorifies God. A giving attitude means putting ...read more

So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you ...read more
