Giving to just about anything, and especially church, can be challenging to our mind and emotions. Why is that? Some of it is a feeling of “it’s mine” to decide, and some of it is simply misunderstanding the responsibility we have toward God with it. Honoring God financially is more than just not spending it on “bad things.”

Generosity can be challenging, especially when we operate according to earthly evaluation of resources. But as much as we want God to pour more into our hands, what is already in them is central to His doing that.

Every day we are making financial decisions that are either enslaving or empowering our future. So much of the average American’s lifestyle is shackled by debt, yet God promises a far better way if we’ll allow Him to shape both our view and our stewardship of what He has entrusted to us.

Everyone would like to have stability in their financial condition; and no doubt there are tools and systems to manage and make the most of them. What if things are already all messed up? How do I begin to undo the mess, because I don’t want anyone to know about it!
