Where is your treasure?

5. Asking for Money

 5 of 10

It’s a task that has to be done tactfully, but it does have to be done. If passing a basket or committing the congregation to envelopes is putting a cap on giving, then get rid of it. There are many modern churches that are well-funded out the stirring desire of God on their member’s hearts to give. 

“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce” (Proverbs 3:9).

A proper Biblical understanding of why God instructs us to give should be explained from the stage by the pastor. It’s a reality we have to face, but not force. Trust that when we speak God’s Word, He has the power to move hearts to give. 

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
