The Art of Giving

“Philippians 4:19 is an interesting text that calls us to trust God in this arena of our financial provision. You might try to think it’s talking about spiritual needs, but really if you look at the context, there’s no way you can say that.

The scripture says, Jesus said to them, "go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation!" Everybody say "go!"

You know that we are living in a culture where everybody is saying "don't talk to me about anything because you're perspective is only valid to you. Don'y try to communicate that to me. Let's all just get along and be tolerant of each other." And so, at the very heart of this call to go into the world that we are in and communicate with people something more than what they value or think about is a bit of a challenge. Even though I think we need to do it respectfully, we still need to do it. And we need to figure out how we can own up before God to this idea that there's a message that we have and a life that we have that we're supposed to communicate to others.
