Re: Prosperity is not the only reason to give

My philosophy is that I should pray as if everything depends on God...but work as if everything depends on me.

This is just another sad example of the selfishness that has replaced selflessness in society and sadly in the church as well.

No sir! He preaches the God of the Bible, not the God of this world who says do what you want, live what you want, and in the end, all will go to Heaven, even if you have no faith in Christ. That is the God of this world, and He has been cast down under our feet!

Sorry, you are wrong. You preach an unrighteous God. So there. nya nya. lol

God must be weak and anemic because He CAN turn the clouds to different colours every day, but He does not, just like he CAN save everyone who went to hell. Yeah right .

Re: Prosperity is not the only reason to give

A person should give to their local and support it because where one gets fed spirtually is what they should support with their seed if you will.
It's wrong for folks to tell folks sow to me,when people don't know these folks personally or their fruit.
Support your pastor and your local church.

Yes He did, but you left out "or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children"! So you really think Jesus was speaking literally? Well, I'm not going to leave my children for that reward: what would I with 400 kids?
