God is not looking for people to give because they're coerced or because of a need, He's looking for people who will give from their heart. He's placed the opportunity to participate in your hand and now He's watching to see what you'll do with it. VF-1943 Matthew 5:20

Starts with an admonition to those who apologize for taking up the offering or play on greed to get people to give.  Goes into Paul's imperative to the Galatians, highlighting the grammar and individual Greek words to show the responsibility of those repeatedly receiving the Gospel to respond.  Moves on to a picture of two different responses: that of the Pharisee versus the woman with the Alabaster Box.  This shows that giving begins with the deposit of God's nature being engrafted in the heart.  Ends with a call, for those who can, to respond. VF-1787 Galatians 6:6

The Incident: Nadab and Abihu brought strange fire to the altar and as a result they were consumed by the fire of God for their disobedience.  This is a lesson for us all to not substitute our own ways for God's ways, by bringing a strange fire to the altar of our commitments.

A lament for the lack of fidelity of the congregation, knowing about God is not enough; we should strive to know Him. If we are in God's program, He has called and enabled us to be laborers.

A lot of times people feel the tug of God and they understand, “Yes, God called me.”  But once they come into the church they think, “I’m here, God. Now what?”  Taking a page out of Abraham’s life teaches us about the life of faith: what to expect, and what to be open to and aware of as we begin making our own faith journey. VF-2329 Isaiah 51:1-2, Acts 7:2-3
