We are created for fruitfulness. Our lives should produce good in the assignments the Creator has given us. What does the vineyard God has given you to tend look like? And are there enemies to fruitfulness you should be aware of? Listen and be inspired by Missionary Chris Dakas from Albania.

Jesus Christ always points us back to the heart. That is why in everything we do, Jesus Christ is always challenging us to examine our motives. Even our tithing and offerings can become more meaningful if our motives are rightly aligned.

From the Bible writers, to Plato and even corporate management training, the Law of Reciprocity is recognized and taught. When we learn this law that God created and act upon it, we will see the fruit in every part of our lives.

God has promised to be Jehovah Jireh, our Abundant Provider, if we live according to His plan for man. Israel was often getting away from this and God raised up leaders to restore them to natural, healthy rhythms of spirituality and worship that produced abundant life. Since these were all written as examples to us (1 Cor. 10:11), we can learn much about the laws of abundant living from the Old Testament writings as well.

Tithing is not an arbitrary rule God threw into the mix of our Jehovah worship. It was well thought out and has specific purposes. What are the purposes of the tithe and what are the benefits we receive in return? And is the tithe all there is or is there more? Today we are going to explore these questions.

Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, can be as controversial and taboo as it is ancient. Some think it was part of the Law and other claim it’s not a part of New Testament teaching. I believe both are wrong and right. This series on giving will study the origins and outcomes of putting God first in your finances.

Can we just ignore Jesus? Can we close our eyes to the mark He has left on the world? Not only is the indelible print Jesus Christ of Nazareth leaves on individual lives irrefutable, but the imprint He has left on humanity has made an unbearable world a better place.

Love is not a manic-moment at an office party. And it is not a come-and-go emotion that ends each time with a devastated relationship. It is a quality decision created and motivated by the heart of God that can only be truly experienced in union with Him.

Some people are sad. Some experience periods of happiness. And there is an exceptional group who have a deep, enduring joyful attitude of the heart and spirit. They are not constantly revisiting the past or stuck in the present, but they seem to look ahead, always expecting the next blessing just over the horizon.
