Our Local Church Budget
Henry Ward Beecher once said, “There never was a person who did anything worth doing who did not receive more than he gave.” This concept of unselfish giving may seem unrealistic, but it has been shown again and again that there is a blessing to those who give generously.
Notice what Solomon says: “There is one who scatters, yet increases more; / And there is one who withholds more than is right, / But it leads to poverty. / The generous soul will be made rich, / And he who waters will also be watered himself” (Proverbs 11:24, 25, NKJV). What a true and wonderful Biblical principle!
If we would but take this important principle to heart, we would actually be blessed, and God’s work in this church would be supported generously. Certainly the needs of our own local church need ongoing and generous support. Thank you for giving today.
