“Sharathon is where the rubber meets the road when it comes to being a Christian.  Before becoming a Christian, and quite honestly even after I was first a Christian, I still didn’t get why to give.  Think about it, you have worked hard to earn that money.  Why give it away?  That’s dumb. 

Well, it was not until I realized some principals about giving, that I started to give, and then follow a lifestyle of giving.  When you find out that the more freely you can give, then the more freely it comes back to you.  When you start to walk by faith, and trust me, giving is walking by faith, that is when God’s true system of providence kicks in.  If it is true that God really owns it all, then aren’t you just giving away what “He” has given you?  And if “He” is in charge of giving it to you, then isn’t He the one that says, ” here is a servant that is faithful in little, I am going to make him faithful with much.” 

Ever since my wife and I have been givers, we have also been receivers of checks we didn’t write, and houses lived in that we didn’t have to pay for.  We actually lived in a house for free once!!!.

So I challenge you to try it out.  Listen to God.  What would He have you give?   Then follow through and watch what God does with your gift to bless others, and then see how He blesses you!”
