3 choices Stewardship or Ownership Trust or Control Contentment or Greed Honor the Lord Giving = Worship

The humble worship of giving (Deuteronomy 26:8-10) So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand …{9} He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; {10} and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, O LORD, have given me." Place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before him.

Giving by Grace – New Testament Giving Voluntarily – Giving should not be done out of a sense of guilt, duty or coercion. (2 Corinthians 9:7) "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion…" Giving Regularly and Proportionately – Giving should be done according to a personal plan that is regular and proportionate to one’s ability and income. (1 Corinthians 16:2) "On the first day of every week [Sunday], each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income." Giving Sacrificially – Regular giving expresses our devotion to God and our trust in Him to supply our needs. (2 Corinthians 8:2, See also 9:8-11) "Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.” Giving Privately – Giving should be a private ministry. (Matthew 6:4) "…that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

God’s Giving Promises (Proverbs 3:9-10) Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; {10} then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. (Proverbs 28:27) He who gives to the poor will lack nothing. (Proverbs 11:24-25) One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. {25} A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverbs 19:17) He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done. (Proverbs 22:9) A generous man will himself be blessed. (Proverbs 25:21-22) If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink…and the LORD will reward you.
