Read: 2 Corinthians 8:1-9

See that you abound in this grace also. —2 Corinthians 8:7

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 112-114

Ed Dobson, my former pastor, often said that he disliked preaching about financial giving to the church. He said his previous job required fundraising, so he didn’t like putting any unnecessary pressure on people. 

But when he was teaching through 2 Corinthians, and he came to chapters 8 and 9, he couldn’t avoid the topic of giving. 

What I remember most about his sermon was the illustration he used. He placed an offering plate on the floor, stepped into it, and stood there as he talked about the importance of giving our whole selves to the Lord, not just our wallets.

Luke 6:38
  Give and gifts will be given to you a good measure, packed together,
  shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap.  
  For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”  

The measure you give by will be the measure you live by.  John W. Smith, Jr.
