The Offering Plate
July 1, 2012

Ed Dobson, my former pastor, often said that he disliked preaching about financial giving to the church. He said his previous job required fundraising, so he didn’t like putting any unnecessary pressure on people. But when he was teaching through 2 Corinthians, and he came to chapters 8 and 9, he couldn’t avoid the topic of giving. What I remember most about his sermon was the illustration he used. He placed an offering plate on the floor, stepped into it, and stood there as he talked about the importance of giving our whole selves to the Lord, not just our wallets.

Those two chapters in Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians give us a number of attitudes and actions that we are to display in our giving to the Lord:

• Give yourself to the Lord first (8:5).

• Give, remembering the example of the Lord Jesus (8:9).

• Give according to your means (8:11-12).

• Give enthusiastically because of God’s love (9:2).

• Give generously, not grudgingly or because of outside pressure (9:5-7).

Next time the offering plate comes around at church, imagine yourself stepping into it. It will help you to excel in the grace of giving (8:7).

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for giving Yourself for me on
the cross. Because of Your love, I give all of me—
my heart, my time, my funds, my will—to You.
I love You.

When we give ourselves completely to the Lord, all lesser giving becomes easier.

Read: 2 Corinthians 8:1-9

See that you abound in this grace also. —2 Corinthians 8:7

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 112-114

The earthquake that rocked Washington DC broke some ornaments off of buildings and cracked some walls but all of the foundations survived. We have a good base to rebuild this country on.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Thank you very much for tonight's Sunday Chapel thread!

This Independence Day, all loyal Americans need to take stock of the condition in which our Nation stands after three and one-half years of the Obama Regime. I'm reminded of the story we all read so many years ago in school - "The Devil and Mr. Webster."

I dare say that if Dan'l Webster were to accost me now and ask in his thunderous voice "Neighbor, how stands the Union?", I would have to report that it was reeling and stumbling under the attacks of the Forces of Evil; that is, Marxists, atheists, traitors and perverts. They attack the very foundations of our our American Experiment, and they are causing fundamental damage to us.

Now is the time; we are in the fundamental struggle of our lifetimes. Our Fathers and Grandfathers answered the call in 1941 and now we must answer the call in 2012. The consequences of failure are the end of the American Nation, the end of our Liberty and Prosperity and the end of Western Civilization. What comes after is nothing but total disaster.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours!
