Year End Donations!
Posted by Eric Jaffe | Posted in Church | Posted on 29-12-2008
2008 is drawing to a close. It has been a year of great turmoil in world financial markets. For many of us finances have been stretched like no time before.
As believers it's an opportunity to retreat, or to trust and press in by continuing to exhibit a lifestyle of giving.
The Gospel of Luke gives us some great words of encouragement on the topic:
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” – Luke 6:38
As 2008 draws to a close I want to ask you. Have you been faithful to God in the area of your finances?
If the answer is yes, then praise God, continue to live to give. If the answer is no, prayerfully consider what God would have you do. The close of the year presents us with an opportunity to finish strong in this area of our lives. We can then continue that into 2009 and just watch what God will do.
It's also the last opportunity of the year to get a tax deduction for your 2008 donations as well.
Church, lets finish strong..
