PRAYER, NOT PRESSURE
It may be expressed in various ways but the root of the concern is
always the same. Some of you may be wondering when the pressure
and manipulation to give is going to begin. The very nature and heart
of the RLFC does not allow for anyone to be pressured into giving.
You will never be told what you should give…not at any point in the
campaign. Your financial involvement is a decision between you and
the Lord. Giving is a part of worship, and giving must come from
your heart to please God, not from a checkbook just to satisfy a
program.
“Each man should give what he
has decided in his heart to give,
not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver.”
II Corinthians 9:7
FINALLY… before determining your commitment, consider
praying: “Lord, what is Your will for my life in this matter as it
relates to Your will for our church at this time? What do You
want to do through me as it affects what You are trying to do
through our church?” |
