WHY DO WE GIVE?

Proverbs 3:9-10 tells us to "Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be will overflow with new wine."
 Giving is one of the central themes in the Bible.  Jesus talked more about this subject than heaven, hell or payer. 
To understand what it means to be a christian, we must also understand what it means to be a giver.

First Things First
God doesn’t need our money; He already owns it all. But when we willingly set aside the first part of our income
or the local church, our hearts will be turned toward Him. (Matthew 6:21) 

Know Giving, Know Life 
Giving is the antidote for materialism. The Bible says that by giving generously we are able to “take hold of the life
that is truly life.” You aren’t really living unless you are freely giving. (I Timothy 6:19)

The Treasure Test 
Giving is the only area in the Bible where God invites us to test Him. Give your tithe (the first 10% of your income) to God and
see if He does not open the floodgates of heaven to bless you in ways that you never dreamed possible. (Malachi 3:10)

An Eternal Investment 
Even when the stock market’s down, you can make an investment that pays dividends for a lifetime and beyond.
Only two things will last forever: People and The Church. By investing in the life-changing message of the church,
​you can leverage your money for eternity. (I Timothy 6:7)
