Marriage

(continued on marriage)The next is offering, the definition of an offering is"a present, especially in sacrifice", dictionary says

"anything offered as a gift." We are so accustomed to our dollar or two in the Sunday school or our traditional "penny march" that we have lost the meaning. Let's not forget that this discourse is about the home and our homes cannot be structured financially correct unless these principles are alive there. We have eight adult children and twenty-four(almost 25) grandchildren, and when we are privileged to be in service with them(grands), as offering time comes they are standing with their hands out. Our purpose and their parents in teaching them is its time for a gift to God. They all are in a conservative church on Sunday morning, their health is good, they have quality jobs so why shouldnt we be liberal in our offerings? We should offer these gifts: revivals, Sunday school, missions, building projects , needs for the church or other projects for the kingdom of God with an attitude THESE ARE A GIFT TO GOD! It doesn't matter if we are rewarded by God materially or financially it is a gift. Too many of our homes are not teaching by example this aspect of giving. What rewards do come, spiritual, material, financial when we have structured our finances Gods way.
