Give

God’s design for our worship involves giving him the first and best of our income as an act of devotion. That doesn’t mean we need to pass the plate in our worship services, because we can give in a variety of ways, but it does mean we should have a time set aside in church to acknowledge our giving. And 2 Corinthians 9:7 states, “For God loves a cheerful giver.” He doesn’t want us to be even the slightest bit sad or sorry when we give, but to take great pleasure in it. How can we do that? 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 contains three principles that will help us be cheerful in our giving.
