One of the central aspects that we see in the church is giving. Last week we dwelled on supporting each other – but what does it mean to “give to the church.” What does it look like to be those who give generously, from a cheerful heart? If sharing, possessing and giving were part of the early church, then how should it continue to define us?
Are their rules for giving? How much? How often? All of these questions are easily answered. The greater struggle for us is to recognize that giving is a central part in the life of a Jesus follower. Perhaps it’s best to think together about what may cause us not to give at all.
