Today, we'll continue our series though Second Corinthians with an important message about false teachers. Now, every message based on the words of the bible is important, but in the day and age we live in, warnings about false teaching are especially important. False teachers are everywhere today, and the deceptions are sometimes very subtle. But they are also very dangerous.

The word of God is being watered down and outright misinterpreted these days, and there results can be devastating. Our series in Second Corinthians continues today as pastor Lloyd takes is to chapter ten, beginning in verse twelve.

As believers in Christ, it would be foolish to try to fight our daily battles without the spiritual weaponry that God has provided. Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley shows us how to use our spiritual weapons in this spiritual war we find ourselves in. It's part of our study in Second Corinthians.

Spiritual battles are a part of the life of the Christian. Much depends on what we do before the wars begin. We'll give you some tips from scripture on how best to prepare today on Bridging the Gap, as part of our study of Second Corinthians.

Today on Bridging the Gap we're going to talk about the great privilege we have to give back to Him. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is going to draw out a few valuable principles for giving from Second Corinthians nine. Among the things we'll discuss is how much should we give, and what our attitude should be when we drop a check in the collection box. As Lloyd has mentioned, God is much more interested in the attitude, not the amount.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we're certainly not going to shy away from the topic of giving as we go verse by verse through Second Corinthians. Chapter nine offers great principles for giving. Let's join pastor Lloyd Pulley and see what they are.

This is Bridging the Gap and we're about to resume our series in Second Corinthians. We left off in chapter eight, verse thirteen. In this part of Paul's letter, he is discussing giving. When it comes to giving, God is more concerned with our heart than the amount. Remember the poor widow who gave two mites? Though that gift may not have caught the attention of people, it sure caught the Lord's attention in a good way!

Martin Luther was heard to say, "I have tried to keep things in my hands and lost them all, but what I have given into God's hands I still possess!" That was the mindset of the Corinthians as well as they gave sacrificially, generously and cheerfully. Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll gain the right motivation for giving to the Lord as we visit Second Corinthians eight.

We're talking about giving, and the right and wrong way to go about it. When you give is it out of reluctance, or some sort of obligation? We'll be introduced to a group of Christians who had a much better motivation than that… they gave because they loved the Lord and cared about those around them. Let's take notice of the heart behind their giving as we join pastor Lloyd Pulley in Second Corinthians eight.

You're listening to Bridging the Gap. We'll be joined by pastor Lloyd Pulley in just a bit. We get right back into Second Corinthians today, and touch on a sensitive subject to say the least. I've heard it said the most sensitive nerves in the human body are the nerves that extend from the heart to the pocketbook. The Lord has a lot to say about how we handle our finances, and giving, and so if it's important to Him it should be important to us. And so today we give attention to giving and generosity.
