Why Give?
​

God employs His creation to support His creation. In the beginning He created man to be the chief steward of creation to tend the garden to tend and care for it. Likewise, when you are generous with the gifts God has given to you, you also become a vital part of the ongoing care of creation.

Throughout the Bible, God speaks about money, generosity, and the ongoing care of creation. Click the following to read about God’s economy of generosity.
