Giving & Receiving

Pastor Steve Craig describes Christians as “Divine Conductors”… From the perspective of Scripture, it’s an even greater blessing to give because givers have received the power of God’s overflowing grace which they can now pass on to others. Paul often talked about what he had received from the Lord and passed on.

I have on occasion heard reference to the Lion, Mouse, and Antelope, not a bad analogy for fundraising, good stewardship, and a host of other misplaced priorities I am certain. I fdid not read far into this post… let me know what you think?

Would you take money from the offering plate? According to this story, that is exactly what a Texas pastor invited his congregation to do and the results may surprise you. When giving was down at a Texas church, Pastor Toby Slough thought his congregation was struggling. So he passed a full plate, offering members to take what they needed.
