Many have asked, "How do I decide what God wants me to give?"

Six Questions To Ask Yourself...

1. Will I give based on REASON or on REVELATION?
   Is my gift what I think I can afford or is it what God wants me to give?
2. Does this amount REALLY stretch my FAITH?
   "God is able to make it up to you by giving you every thing you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others." -- 2 Corinthians 9:8 TLB
3. Does it show I value my HOPE OF ETERNAL REWARD more than material things on earth?
   "Use your money to do good . . . always being ready . . . by doing this you will be storing up real treasure for yourself in heaven . . . it is the only safe investment for eternity! And you will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well." -- 1 Timothy 6:18-19 TLB
4. Does this amount represent a GENUINE SACRIFICE?
   "I will not sacrifice to my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing!" --
   2 Samuel 24:24 NIV
5. Will this amount demonstrate how much I love CHRIST and HIS CHURCH FAMILY?
   ". . . be leaders also in the spirit of cheerful giving. . . . This is one way to prove that your love is real, that it goes beyond mere words." -- 2 Corinthians 8:7-8 TLB
6. Does this amount express the LEVEL OF THANKS GIVING I have for how Word of Life has blessed my life and family?
   "Gladly I bring my sacrifices to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good." -- Psalm 54:6 TLB
