386 Christian Giving Today (Will Barlow)

Listen Later

This is part three of our Biblical Giving Series.

In this third and final interview with Will Barlow, we'll spend some focused time looking at Malachi 3 to understand what this passage meant in it's original context and how it relates to us today.  Next we'll take a look at three myths about Christian giving:

1. Christians are in debt to God. 2. Christians must pay for God’s protection. 3. The gifts of God can be purchased with money.

Lastly, Barlow will share four keys to Christian giving:

  1. Everything that we have, from our finances to our abilities, are God’s. We are only giving back to God what we have from Him.
  2. When we give financially, let’s keep in mind the biblical precedent for giving: to support ministers, to support missions work, and to help the poor or those in need (especially among believers).
  3. As we follow Jesus and the examples of other faithful disciples in the NT, we will develop an attitude of service, which fuels the amount given.
  4. God works in the financial category to teach us about how to walk with Him.
