Why Give Money

Small Group Bible Study books for your small group:  Real life event with probing questions, bible passages dealing with the event and exercises to follow.  What could have been, if the people of God gave financially to the Lord Jesus Christ as prescribed by Him?  Instead of missionaries taking a year or so to raise support, they would have been immediately deployed and their number could have doubled if the people of God had given just a tithe.  We don’t have to keep asking the question ‘what could have been done?’  The prophet Joel says, “That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is still time!  Give me your hearts.  Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.  Don’t tear your clothing in your grief; instead, tear your hearts.”  Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful.  He is not easily angered.  He is filled with kindness and is eager not to punish you.  Who knows?  Perhaps even yet he will give you a reprieve, sending you a blessing instead of this terrible curse.  Perhaps he will give you so much, you will be able to offer grain and wine to the Lord your God as before!”
