Why Give?

In the Church, we believe that giving comes from the attitude behind it. From the start of time in the Old Testament, giving was a freewill offering that was part of a greater vision than just the person themselves, and it was that the intention behind giving is what mattered most to God. In giving, it is all about living with the attitude that we are blessed to be a blessing. In that sense, when you give, it is not at all a legalistic obligation, but rather a joyful expression of thanks to the Lord who has provided abundantly for us.
