Enjoy Your Money... Give None Away... by kayla schaaf

"I am concerned for the poor but more for you. I know not what Christ will say to you in the great day... I fear there are many hearing me who may know well that they are not Christians, because they do not love to give. To give largely and liberally, not grudging at all, requires a new heart; an old heart would rather part with its life-blood than its money. Oh my friends! Enjoy your money; make the most of it; give none away; enjoy it quickly for I can tell you, you will be beggars throughout eternity."Robert Murray M'Cheyne--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------May we look to Christ's sacrifice as our perfect example. He lived a selfless life - gave His own life - so that we may live selflessly in our giving. May we be inconvenienced for His sake, to give to the poor, to sell all we have and provide for the needy. We have everything we need: He is Christ. The Lord will take care of us.2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (and read on)Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.Give us the strength to be humble, Lord!
