Thank you for your sermon.

I struggle with the amount/percentage. I have to be realistic and prepare for retirement, etc., (to help myself), so I don’t know where to draw the line.

Certainly, God is not an extortionist and we shouldn’t give under duress or fear of being punished if we don’t, then again, if I give more than realistic, then it will be a giving with worries about my own finances and not with a glad heart. See what I mean? I struggle with this issue.

Thanks for the sermon pastor Henrickson. It’s sad that these days too many people don’t use their God given talents, but expect others to do their part.
