What the Bible tells us about giving:
 
First and foremost, God wants us to give. It shows we recognize he is truly the Lord of our lives.
James 1:17
 
Believers should give according to their income. The offering was set aside on the first day of the week.
1 Corinthians 16:2
 
We are blessed when we give. Giving brings more blessing to the giver than to the recipient.
Acts 20:35
 
When we give freely to God, we receive freely from God. Holding back from giving with a stingy heart, we hinder God from blessing our lives.
Luke 6:38 Proverbs 11:24
