Harvest - GIVE
•
1 like•805 views
Christian giving is different because it reflects God's generous character and is motivated by worship of God rather than selfish concerns. It values poor people as God values them and sees giving as an investment for eternity rather than something with just temporary value. Christian giving expresses worship of God through generous gifts that are a fragrant offering to him.

Tithing

The New Testament does not command Christians to give 10% and early Christians saw tithing as part of the Old Covenant. For Christians, giving should be motivated by love rather than law and done joyfully according to what one has received from God.
What is not in the Bible!
Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

However, divine grace provides humankind with an extension of time and opportunity to prove themselves worthy of salvation by obeying God's laws. While the gift of grace is unmerited and available to all, it is not a license to sin. To take advantage of the grace provided through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, one must use the time under grace to obey God and follow his commandments in order to gain eternal life.

The document is notes from a seminary lesson on Doctrine and Covenants 18. It discusses how the Book of Mormon helps build up the Church, the Lord's promise to those who build on the foundation of His gospel, and the Lord's command to cry repentance in response to increasing wickedness. It emphasizes that the worth of souls is great to God, as shown by Jesus Christ's suffering for all people, and that those who help others repent will feel great joy.

This document discusses biblical teachings on wealth. It states that the Bible teaches:
1) Not to desire riches, as the love of money leads to evil.
2) To work hard, as God blesses hard work.
3) To share wealth and honor God through tithing, as tithing leads to blessing while not tithing leads to curse.
It provides examples of Christian businessmen like Henry Crowell and William Colgate who were faithful tithers and generous givers. It emphasizes having faith in God and trusting Him with finances.Similar to Harvest - GIVE (20)

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
