“Let Me Think”
If I give nothing, I cast a vote in favor of closing the church doors.
If I give only to local support, I vote to stop missionary activity in the great world need.
If I give grudgingly, I shall find no joy, nor receive the blessings of the Lord.
If I give proportionately, I shall give some-thing even if, of necessity, it must be small
If I give systematically, I make it possible for the local church to plan in advance.

18. Conclusion and Summary
If I give sacrificially, I shall testify to the high value I place upon the church ministering to the physical and most importantly of all to the spiritual needs of a sin torn world!
May we learn from God’s Word and encourage each other in the proper manner of giving!
