Giving

 

 

“And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches... see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” - 2 Corinthians 8:1-7

At Bethany Community, we believe that giving is an act of worship. Every gift we bring is a response to the generosity of God, who has freely given us all things in Christ. We give not out of obligation, but out of gratitude — as an expression of faith, love, and joy in the One who has given us grace upon grace.

As Randy Alcorn writes in The Treasure Principle,

“God owns everything. I’m His money manager. Heaven, not Earth, is my home. I should live not for the dot but for the line. Giving is the only antidote to materialism. God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.”
