Got Giving?

In 2 Corinthians 6-15, Paul describes a cheerful giver. Let's take a look on what he thought we ought to do:

Sowing Generously
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

This is what We [me & my family] will do this Christmas to support the Kingdom of God. IN ADDITION to our monthly tithe, and our contributions to relief organizations, we will make an extra Gift of $45 every first week of the month starting now, to support our church family here at Grace! Why? Because hard works lays before us, to truly spread the "good news" and sow the seed the God has given us. And guess what. This Church will be a Beacon of light in New England, and we don't want to be the goat on the left field, do we?

So what do you say? Will you join me in growing the kingdom of God? Remember, it's just $45 | $1.50/day | $10.50/week

Believe me, if I can do that, you sure can too. And so I close this post with a dream and prayer that we all will truly see the love of Jesus entering our lives this season, transforming our hearts, removing our worries and challenge us to for once, deeply trust in our God!
