Bible Question: Is there a scripture that talks about giving on a faith promise? Thanks |
Bible Answer: 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 |
