Giving Freely

Pastor Brian Kluth tells of a friend’s four-year-old daughter, Amanda, who was determined not to put her quarter in the offering plate one Sunday. Amanda’s parents were trying to teach her to be a faithful and cheerful giver. But Amanda was not having any of it!
Her parents were embarrassed that they had to pry the quarter out of her little hand and drop it into the offering plate.
  Later that afternoon, Amanda’s mom heard her playing on the backyard swing.
Every time Amanda got the swing up to its highest point on the swing set, she would shout at the sky, “God, I want my quarter back! God, I want my quarter back!”
Some people would rather not give God that which is God’s including Amanda.
Jesus was not trying to pile extra stress on us when he pointed out our responsibility to both pay our taxes to the government and give to God’s work. He was trying to teach us an important spiritual principle: Giving is the ultimate sign that we trust God.
If you want to know what you really believe about God, examine your checkbook. Your level of giving toward God’s work matches your level of trust in God.
Do you trust God enough to give a portion of your resources to do His work?
The life of greed is a bottomless pit. There is never enough to satisfy. But giving to the work of God gives your life meaning and purpose.
When we give to God what is God’s, we learn to trust in God and it also gives us the opportunity to make an impact in the world around us.
  Giving to the church allows the church to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community and in the world. As followers of Christ we are to share the love of Christ with others, to bring God’s hope and joy into the world. That takes commitment. When we join the church, we promise to be loyal to the church and uphold it with our prayers, our presence, our gifts our service and our witness.
  May we be faithful to the promises we have made. More importantly let us keep God first in our lives and live our faith for the glory of God’s kingdom here and now.

God bless,
Pastor Barbara
