I'm asked almost every week by unbelievers to support something they're doing, therefore I ask them to support me.<BR/><BR/>Bernadette FrazierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-63016645982713694232008-12-22T21:36:00.000-05:002008-12-22T21:36:00.000-05:00I feel in my heart that as the unbelievers grow in...I feel in my heart that as the unbelievers grow in their walk with christ and is being taught what giving is all about, they'll know that suporting the ministry isn't a bad thing. We all started off as non believers and as we grew in our walk, we didn't have a problem giving in any aspect. But as a non believer comes into a place of worship, I wouldn't expect much financial support in the begining.<BR/> Again, as they grow and the seed gets routed, they'll know that giving should truly come from the heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-15891220969501153212008-12-18T08:46:00.000-05:002008-12-18T08:46:00.000-05:00I hear what you're saying shoprat,and I agree to t...I hear what you're saying shoprat,and I agree to the point that I wouldn't ask a professed muslim or buddist to support the ministry.Which brings me back to my point that every person sitting in the pews on Sunday aren't saved i.e. believers but we ask them to give.

Most unsave people give all the time due to they know that it is blessing in it. It's the save people that have a hard time in giving. The unsave have figure out the Financial FORMULA OF GIVING. What a pitty... that's why you see so many of them wealthy and could care less what the preacher preached about they just know they have to pay tithes and offering and keep doing what they do.<BR/><BR/>Trust what I know...I worked for one.<BR/><BR/>Little COGIC GirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-49567484766393207252008-12-17T14:35:00.000-05:002008-12-17T14:35:00.000-05:00You have to be sure that you are in line with what...You have to be sure that you are in line with what the bible says about giving. We rely alot on the old testiment Malachi 3:8, will a man rob god. On in that scripture it states that see if I will open the window of heaven and pour you out a bleesing that you will not have room enough to recieve. Also it says prove me now. There is no other scripture in the bible where God says you put me to the test. We as Christians love to take the scriptures that only require that God do somthing, you have to realize that even in your salvation God requires you to do somthing. In faith God requires you to do somthing, so why not in giving God is asking you to do somthing. We rely alot on malachi but the scripture I love to lean on is Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure press down that men will give into your bussum. If you are obedient to the word of God you cant be wrong. That brings up a whole new prospective in giving. Are you giving out of emotion, pressure or a true hearing from God. This is a serious subject and there is so much that could be said.<BR/><BR/>Elder LittleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-28184682711540738332008-12-17T12:27:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:27:00.000-05:00Offerings are "free will".
