Generous

2 Corinthians 9: 11 (NLT)

    …you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.  

    And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.

 

Proverbs 1: 25 (NLT)

    The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

 

Psalm 112: 5 (NLT)

    Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly.

 

    “A heart touched by God, gives generously, and starts with the tithe.”

 

I Always ONLY Ask you to be obedient!

 

2 Corinthians 9: 7 (NLT)

     You must each decide in your heart how much to give.

    And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure.

    “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”

Giving is still LESS than during the Great Depression!!!

If every church attendee in America tithed  =  $165 billions more !!!

Matthew 23: 23 (ESV)

    Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

 

  • Luke 3: 11 (NLT)

   … If you have two shirts, give one to the poor.

 

  • Luke 6: 29 (NLT)

    … If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also.

 

  • Luke 19          Zacchaeus…

    I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” 

Salvation has come…

  • Mark 10: 21     Rich Young Ruler…

    Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor,

    and you will have treasure in heaven.

 

Luke 14: 33 (NLT)

    So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

Leviticus 27: 30 (NLT)

    One-tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields

    or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord and must be set apart to him as holy.

    If you can’t live on 90%, You can’t live on 100%

    Give to God what is right, Not what is left.   

                        ~ Pastor Adrian Rogers

    I have observed 100,000 families over my years of investment counseling.

    I always saw more prosperity and happiness among those families who tithe than among those who didn’t.
