Bible Question: I'm asking a question here. My Pastor preached that the Christian must sacrifice and he quoted about giving up possessions. Some followed until they heard this and could not pay the price. Is such great sacrifice necessary? |
Bible Answer: Dear imuvhim, Certainly grace guides our conduct along with some common sense. Look at 2 Cor.9:6-7 that deals with principles in giving. Note that God loves a cheerful giver, not one giving out of compulsion. I might ask, does your pastor own a car or home? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
