WAYS TO GIVE.
-
Giving is an act of worship as we joyfully respond to God’s grace in our lives.
-
Giving isn’t a way to make God like you more – you’re fully accepted because of Jesus.
-
Giving is not a way to earn God’s favor, it’s a worshipful response to God’s gifts and kindness to us. See 2 Cor 8:9.
F.A.Q.
Depending on which is more feasible for your situation, you can handle tithing with a fluctuating income in a couple of different ways. Some people choose to give exactly one-tenth or more of their earnings for each individual pay-period. Others estimate their total earnings for the year and give a portion of the total tithe each week or month throughout the year.
Every dollar given to LifeConnection Church General Fund is used to support the local and global mission of LifeConnection; therefore, gifts cannot be designated or restricted for use by a specific department or ministry.
Scripture doesn’t use the literal terms “net” or “gross”. It’s more important to note that the spirit in which we give is of greatest value to God. He tells us in 2 Corinthians 9 that “each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give; not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
