In establishing the Church, God created an organization that He knew would be worldwide. This new entity would be maintained and expanded primarily by well-trained volunteers and would face overwhelming opposition. He considered the Church so precious that He paid for it with His own blood (Acts 20:28). I find it hard to believe that He would not have a plan to provide for its expenses.

Sunday Supernaturally: Eagerly Awaiting

Let’s Stay Out of the Ditch
Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Receiving is a good thing, it’s just not as good as giving! Therein lies the key to staying out of the ditch on both sides of the road. I want to avoid greed and covetousness, but I also don’t want to overcorrect and glorify lack.
