1 | Faith promise scripture? | 2 Cor 9:7 | charis | 83927 | ||
Dear prayon, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I have spent some time searching the internet and e-Sword for some kind of Bible reference for "faith promise giving." I found none. Virtually (no pun intended) every Google hit cited II Corinthians 9:7 "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (NASB) However, none of these websites seem to be able to substantiate any Scriptural basis for the term. In a nutshell, faith promise giving simply means a commitment to missions. The thing that stikes me as odd is that many ministries make a big point that this is NOT a pledge. Well, as far as I can see, it is a pledge. Without "raining on the parade," I must say that I long for the simplicity of a pure tithe plus giving as the Spirit leads, and spiritual men that seek the face of God for proper disbursement. IMHO, mission boards and missionaries need more faith and commitment, and less politics and 'organization.' (I am wearing my flak jacket! ;-)) Where God sends you, GO! Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |

Dear prayon, O gentle soul, the flak jacket is not for YOU! :-) Btw, after spending time websearching this term, I can only come to the conclusion that it is "marketing speak," i.e. yet another way to "try to milk a milked cow." How many ways can you say 'tithes and offerings?' Apparently a LOT more! One last thought... If we ask God, "How much?," He is faithful to tell us, "This much." If we ask man, "How much?," you can be sure the answer is, "More." Peace and joy in Christ Jesus, charis |
