Money or Goods?

When you give, do you think about whether you give money or gifts?

When you give, think about this – money is easy to give, but things take thought and time. If you give money it is practical, but not really personal.

Give money and you provide … Give things and you provide …

Since when

….did living in the “fire of the Holy Spirit”, become “living in the light of
our own fires”?
….did Church become “a place to be entertained” rather than “entering into the Holy Of Holies”
….did “talent” replace “tongues (and interpretation)
….was church focused on making you “feel good” rather than “seeking God”
….did “glossy news letters to read” seem more spiritual than “Bibles that were worn out from reading”
