Day 57: Sacrificial Giving

July 7 • Bible reading from 2 Corinthians 8:7-9 Sacrificial Giving

Behaviour: "The way I use my money reflects my faith in God."

_______

Text:

But just as you excel 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. I am not commanding
you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

Take a minute:

The final conversion of the Christian is the ‘hip-pocket’.

Why would this be so true of our culture?
