Giving is worship. Everything we have is a gift from God. As we give back faithfully and joyfully, the world is changed. Grace and hope become a reality, the gospel is lived out, lives are touched, people are fed, bodies are healed, communities are transformed, and relationships are reconciled. When we learn to give generously, it changes us, making us more like our generous Creator.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son … (John 3:16)”
