2 | Raising Funds for Christian work | Phil 4:17 | mitchm0521 | 167931 | ||
In Philipians 4:17 we see that Paul says this particular church communicated with him on giving and recieving more than any other, actually, they were the only ones to do just that. Paul goes on to say that even when he was in Thessalonica they sent unto him, not becuase he wanted a gift, but because he wanted fruit to abound to their account. As a minister of the Gospel we can say that the tithe belongs to God. It doesn't matter who you are, 10 percent of all your increase belongs unto the Lord. However, when it comes to giving other than that, it is something every Christian should do, but here is a good place to read how it should be done. 2 Cor 9:7-8 says to let every man give according to his heart, not grudgeingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. He goes on to say that when a person gives cheerfully, that God is able to make all grace abound to that person, so that they can be all sufficient in all things, they will have no lack or want. And they will have no lack financially, so that they can then abound to every good work. There is nothing wrong with giving an offering, as a matter of fact, since God loves a cheerful giver, and since giving means we are advancing the kingdom of God, every Christian man or women should be overjoyed when its time to collect an offering. They should be as overjoyed at being able to give, as they would be if someone handed them one million dollars. Hope this helped, Mitch |

Mitch Many thanks for your very prompt response. I found it a great help. The reason for the question was that I am involved in a Christian charity, and the field workers feel that to actively promote the raising of funds for this work is a sign of a lack of Faith. I feel that The Lord would want or even expect us to do so. It was good to get help from the New Testament.I am happy to say that I do see both sides to the point of view and that a balance needs to be kept. Many hanks for your help once again. God Bless Austen |
