The Responsibility Of Evangelism

Graced Into Giving Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Oct 28, 2019

Guilt is a terrible motivator, because it works from the outside in. But grace works from the inside out. If you want to increase giving in your church, don't preach about tithing. Preach the gospel.
