Save More to Give More
I hope this website will give you ideas and information on all your Christian
financial decisions.
The Bible has more than 2,300 verses that deal with money. So God wanted us to know how to handle our money, as He knew it would be a big factor in our lives.
My goal for this Website is to share information so that it helps you save,
invest, spend less and give more. Remember it's ALL GOD'S MONEY.
Psalms 24:1 says " The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the
world, and all who live in it;"
The more we can save/make, the more we can give to Christian organizations.
I feel you visited this site for a reason. I ask you this... Are you giving all you can to the Lord's Kingdom? (We can ALL give more)
Is what you give only 2-3% of your income or maybe you give 10-20% but you would love to give more. This
website will help you save/make extra $$$ each month so you can give more to
the Christian organizations around the world.
If this website were to save you say $2000 a year, would you be willing to give
it to Christian organizations? That is what I would like to see.
If you make $50,000 a year but are only giving $1,000-$2,000 a year to your
church/charity, I would LOVE to help you get it to at least 10% or $5,000 a
year.
Mark 12:42-44 challenges us in
this way: "But a poor widow
came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said "I tell you the truth, this poor
widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of
their wealth but she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live
on."
You may say well I don't have the $$$ or I would give more.
But if that is the case and you can't give anymore but really want to, I think
if you will read over this website, some of the tips on this site can give you
that extra money each year to give.
"Among church members of 11 primary Protestant denominations (or their historical antecedents) in the United States and Canada, per-member giving as a percentage of income was lower in 2000 than in either 1921 or 1933. In 1921, per-member giving as a percentage of income was 2.9 percent. In 1933, at the depth of the Great Depression, per-member giving grew to 3.3 percent. By 2000, after a half-century of unprecedented prosperity, giving had fallen to 2.6 percent." John L. Ronsvalle and Sylvia Ronsvalle, The State of Church Giving through 2000 (Champaign, Ill.: Empty Tomb,
2002)
That is amazing that during the depression
people gave more than they do now. Now we have big homes, 2 cars, take
great vacations, and spend money on gadgets.
It's all God's money. You OWN NOTHING. You are only a manager for
God. Yes he wants us to enjoy some of the money and pay our bills and
have clothes on our backs and food on our tables etc... But are we
really giving all we can? Or are we filling our lives with STUFF!
I have no doubt that Christians want to really give more of their finances to God's Kingdom. I want to show Christians different ways to use the $$$ GOD gave them and how to use it wisely. If God knows you are being a good manager with a little he will reward you with more.
If these tips saved you $1800 a year ($150 a month) would you give that money
to your church or Christian organization?
I truly feel that these tips on this website can save the average person
between $2,000-$5,000 a year (And some as much as $10-20,000 a year).
If this website received just 100 new visitors a month and each visitor saved $1,800 a year
by using the information on the website and also gave to Christian
organizations, then those 100 new visitors would produce over
$2,100,000 a month in NEW donations to Christian organizations/churches etc to
further the kingdom of God.
That is just 1200 visitors in a year!
So if you do get a lot out of this website please let others know.
I will never ask for your financial information at all but I want to help more people
give. This in turn will further the kingdom of God.
You will more freely give when you understand that it's NOT your money but
it's
God's. It's NOT YOUR HOUSE, it's NOT YOUR CAR, and it's NOT YOUR 401K. It
ALL belongs to God. Are you furthering YOUR kingdom or
God's?
I am not saying to sell all your possessions and live in a tent. But
do understand that it is all GOD'S money! He sent his son to DIE on the cross
for YOU! Is 2-3% really enough to give back to him?
Rick Warren who wrote in his book The Purpose Driven Life says "You will not be in heaven two seconds before you cry out, 'Why did I place so much importance on things that were so temporary? What was I thinking? Why did I waste so much time, energy, and concern on what wasn't going to last?'" That is SO TRUE. And I would add "Why did I spend so much $$$ on those silly things? I could have given that money to help lead more people to Christ."
An elder at my Church recently said to the effect.... If you lived in
unbearable pain each and every day you were on earth and lived to be 90 years
old but died and went to heaven, it would all be worth it. 90 years of
pain for eternity with God is a GREAT TRADE! There is NO better deal than
that.
As Christians we should be giving so much more so that we can get the Word of
Jesus to more people so they can experience eternity with Him.
Please read the different subjects to the left.
I hope and pray that you are able to use this tips and strategies in your life
to save/make extra money so you can give more to the Kingdom.
I would love to hear from you. (If you enjoy the website please read the
