Giving is a topic that I feel we try to avoid at times in our lives or we completely avoid it all together. We think of giving ten percent to the church as a burden or we think that the church has enough why do we need to fatten the checkbook. In some cases this may be true but in the experience I have seen with Giving to the church, that many could not keep the doors open if we did not give. It is up to us as believers to make sure God's House stays open and debt free. God says in the bible that He wants us to bring our tithe and offering into the storehouse. Giving is just not an old testament principle. He says to give.
I have never been so blessed than when I give and give. I have seen miracles. I have given an amount of money and have watched it beat me home and a check be sitting in the mailbox that evening.
We cannot out give God but He wants to see us be faithful and do this very thing.
When we give of our finances, time, etc. we are showing God that we trust Him and believe His word.
God says we are not to owe anyone but love everyone. This is a very simple statement but we miss it by a land slide.
If we learned to give to those in need and follow what the Holy Spirit tells us we need to do, we will be so blessed and others will be so blessed.
Give your tithes and go beyond that and give offerings and be blessed.
