1Co16

Give first! Give proportionally! Let our giving limit our living. Don't let our living limit our giving.

Generosity to God and His work is a rare reality among American Christians. I would bet that the majority of believers spend more money on their cell phones than they give to the church. Not to mention what we spend on entertainment, physical fitness, transportation, clothes, etc. 

Jesus said where our treasure is…our heart is. One way to determine the sincerity of our faith is to look at our giving. Are we generous toward God? Do we give at least 10% of our income to the things of God? Are we quick to justify "personal" expenses, while at the same time, quick to justify not giving?

Money is a big deal. If we are not intentional in how we use it, we won't be generous with how we give it. Give first!
