WE TRULY BELIEVE YOU CAN'T OUTGIVE GOD
The Bible says in Matthew 6:24 that the top competitor for our commitment to Jesus is money. Giving allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things. There is no organization with more potential to change the world than the local church! When you give, you are actually making a difference in someone's life. Marriages are restored, lives are healed, and people meet Jesus. There's no better investment in the world.
WHY GIVE?
In a world that seems money is everything why would you give it away? Well there are a few reasons;
1.
Whether you believe in Jesus or not it is proven that you are a happier person when you give financially to something bigger than yourself for a greater cause. Hoarding everything you have will drive you crazy. That is why all the wealthiest people you know and the ones you don't give massive amounts of their wealth away.
2.
If you are a follower of Christ this is not optional for you. Jesus said to do it, and that it isn't our money in the first place, so we need to be obedient. God told His followers to steward the things He has given us. This includes our time the talent God has gifted you with and the money you have. You have the great responsibility to manage all that God has given you, that is why we give.
So, how much? Well if you never miss it going out it is probably not enough. God says He gives it to us to give away. Of course we need money to live, but it is not intended to build bigger portfolios for us here on earth. The bible says we are to get alone with God spend time with Him, see what He wants us to give and then give that cheerfully while checking back regularly with Him.
Don't be a slave to money, be obedient and enjoy having it.
