Generosity and obedience
June 5, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Most Christ followers would say, “Yes, God wants me to help others. He even has a suggested amount.” It gets complicated. Some say 10%, based on the tithe in Scripture. Others, that’s the minimum. Income only, others, crops, dividends?
V Obedient givers know God’s word and do something. Do the math, give, feel good, and move on. They miss dialogue with God. “Its all YOURS and you’ve loaned it to me, what can I give back to you. Wait I’m not giving it back. Its all YOURS. God show me your best plan.
M That obedient giver is still saying, its 90% mine. They have missed the message of the talents. Large or small, all we have 100% belongs to our Master, Lord, Savior.
