Giving. It's a topic that many people dread discussing. Why is that? For many, they want to give to God's work, but they feel like they can't afford it. So they feel guilty. Others think that money taints things and should not be a part of our spiritual life. Still others want God to work in their lives, but they are not ready for Him to have their finances. No matter where we are, the Bible says that giving financially to God and His work is a critical part of our relationship with God; so that is where we are going to look together in God's Word for the next few weeks. Ask God to speak to you and teach you. Jesus said that understanding His ways will not bring bondage, but will actually bring freedom to our lives! (John 8: 31-32)
