Give
Why give?
In our materialistic, consumer society giving money away is a counter-cultural activity, and yet the Bible encourages us to do just that. But Christian giving is not a reckless, abandonment of possessions but rather a discipline that supports God’s work in the world and the spiritual growth of the followers of Jesus.
​
See the slideshow below for 6 reasons to give:
1. You will grow in your reverence of God.
Moses told the Israelites that they were to set aside their tithes “so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. Deuteronomy 14:22
​
When we give sacrificially we will see that God does indeed provide all our needs. We will move from reliance on ourselves to reliance on God. Such trust honours our Lord and gives him glory.
