"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on... But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

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.
