Bills mount up. The cost of living goes up. And often our giving to the church goes down. I've heard from many folks over the years and even recently who say they don't have the ability to give tithe and offering into their church. I understand. Giving is hard. Especially if you're not in the practice of giving or if you're new to the faith. But God is faithful. I encourage you to take a step (maybe a leap) of faith in your giving and see if God doesn't prove Himself faithful. I know personally what it means to give even when it hurts and even when you are uncertain about your own finances. But I also know personally how God honors our faith and is able to do more with less than we are with more. He manages to make our 90% go further than we can our 100%. He really does pour out blessings when we give out of a heart of worship , obedience, and faith.

How's your financial health. I'm not talking bout your 401k or your checking account. I'm talking about your spiritual financial health. As a Christian, our spiritual financial health doesn't just affect our retirement it affects the work of the church and it grows our faith and testimony.


I want to encourage you to give to your local church. As a Christian, it's part of being a good steward and growing in your financial health. Here's a simple quiz to determine your generosity and financial health.
