Principles in Giving
Most Christians are prepared to acknowledge that we should give. But do we know why? Drawing from Paul’s practical encouragement to the Corinthian church, Alistair Begg reminds us that although generous giving brings its own rewards, this should never be the incentive for our generosity. Because giving is an expression of our faith, it should be determined privately and prayerfully, not out of obligation or pity. In this way, we can give cheerfully even as God is glorified.
