"Each
man should give what
he has decided to give, not reluctantly or
under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
II Corinthians 9:7
These are only a few of
the scriptures that challenge us to give.
"Remember
this; Whoever sows sparingly
will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously
will also reap generously.
II Corinthians 9:6
"And
do not forget to do good and to share with
others, for with such sacrifices
God is pleased."
Hebrew 13:16
"But
just as you excelled in everything- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in
complete earnestness and in your love for us- see
that you also excel in this grace of giving."
II Corinthians 8:7
"In
everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help
the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It
is better to give than to receive.'"
Act 20:35
