I learned at a very young age the imortance and difference between tithing AND giving an offering. Offering is anything over and above your tithe. I do have some concerns with the name it and claim it mentality that some churches are orating from the pulpit. God does not promise great financial wealth because you give. He does however promise to give us what we need. One of my favorite songs/hymns is Great is the Faithfulness. The best line in that song is all I hath needed thy hand has provided. There is a big difference between wanting and needing dont you think? The blessings that he bestows are not alway material. I can appreciate the need and ability to give.

Proverbs 11:25 Generosity is a key component to Biblical financial management. God is extremely generous (John 3:16) and He rewards His servants who are likewise liberal toward others.

No only are you furthering the borders of the Kingdom but you have the Divine promise of prosperity. These uncertain times offer perfect opportunities for reaching out! In fact, if you are strong in your faith, people tend to come to you. Give them the Ultimate Lifeline! “The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered.” Proverbs 11:25
