Saturday night my wife and I were looking at our bank account online. We had only $500 in our account, and knew that on Monday there was a withdrawal to be taken out for $470 for part of our mortgage payment. Our first response was, "No spending any money all week until we get paid on Friday." I then asked, "what about our weekly tithe?" This question went unanswered because we both knew we needed to trust in the Lord and give the 10% he wanted us to give. Simple math says our 10% plus the $470 for mortgage is more than what money we had available. I went ahead and wrote out the check for tithe, but on the way to church the next morning I realized I had forgotten it at home. No problem, we can mail it when we get home. Monday when my wife got home from work she checked the mail and in it was a rebate check for insurance we had...

When I was given the responsibility of paying it forward with the $1 that I received in last week’s service, I immediately began thinking of how I could really make a difference with that one-dollar. I thought for days. I wanted to make sure that the way that I paid it forward would really mean something, be something unique. I thought of how I could double or even triple the effects of that one-dollar. The more I thought, the more the dollar sat in my wallet.

This morning (Friday), it hit me. I was the servant with 1 talent. I was afraid. Who am I to decide how the dollar would affect someone. I suddenly realized that I didn’t have faith that God would use the dollar in many ways that were beyond my understanding. Who was I to judge who needed the dollar? I did not see myself as the servant with 1 talent during...

I was at your service yesterday as a first time attender. My family and I recently moved from Southern California--my wife and son have been here for a year--so my son could start 7th grade here-- and I was traveling back and forth from CA. and TN.--while living in Calif most of the time for a year until I could close up our commitments there.

We have been visiting many churches in the area this past year-and have not found one that is close to the church we attended in Calif. It just so happened that we moved at the same time as 2 other families from the same church we attended in CA.-- and we all moved to this same area. The church we attended in Calif was committed to giving away 50% of all its givings from the attenders there-- to the needs of God's people in the U.S and around the world--it was amazing to see...
