A sizeable number of Christians have a real hard time supporting their churches financially. I once had a young man tell me he was a Christian, but he didn’t believe in giving money to the church because “It just let’s them keep on with what they’re doing!” Obviously he didn’t see eye to eye with the way his place of worship was spending their money. Typically though, people don’t give because they have other things they’d rather be doing with the money they have. Unfortunately, when Christians take that attitude it actually shows they have a foundational misunderstanding of how God works, and where their money actually comes from. The truth is God doesn’t need our money, our time or our love. He just wants our hearts, and once He truly gets them, then we begin to understand that all of our time, our money and our love are the least we could give Him. Generally though, a person’s willingness to give to the Lord’s work financially is a far better barometer of their love for Him than all the “spiritual sounding talk” in the world. “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.” King David (1 Chronicles 29:14) In Christ, PastorJimKilby @Kilbin8er Jim@JamesKilby.com
