Sacrificial Giving is a response to the Generosity of God.
Our gifts should be:
Planned. Plan ahead of time what we intend to give, and have our gift
ready at collection time. Don’t simply drop a spare dollar in the basket
or let it pass by without giving.
Proportionate. Our giving should be in proportion to how greatly God
has blessed us.
Sacrificial. We ought to give more than just what is left over after
taking care of all our needs and wants.
Thankful. Our offering should be a grateful response to the immense
love God has shown for us.
Dar con sacrificio, es una respuesta a la generosidad de Dios.
Nuestros ofrenda debe ser:
Planeada. Planear con tiempo cuanto va a ser mi ofrenda, y tenerlo listo
para el tiempo de la colecta. No solamente soltar un dólar o dejar pasar
la canasta sin dar nada.
Proporcionalmente. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser en proporción a lo
muncho que Dios nos ha bendecido.
Sacrificialmente. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser mas de lo que simplemente
nos sobra despues de haber tomado para todas nuestras necesidades y
deseos.
Agradecimiento. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser una acción de gracias a Dios,
por el inmenso amor que nos ha manifestado.

THE ROAD TO POWER
"With power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus." —Acts 4:33
Pope John Paul II called our culture a "culture of death." This seems to indicate that the new life in the risen Christ has not been widely
accepted. Why have we not been effective in witnessing with power for the risen Christ?
To witness with power, we must witness with our lips and our money and possessions. "None of them ever claimed anything as his
own; rather, everything was held in common" (Acts 4:32). However, even if we did pool our resources, we would probably make a
mess of it because we don't have the unity, community, authority, submission, accountability, and stability necessary to organize and
distribute wisely a large outlay of financial responsibilities.
How can we willingly suffer the pains of growing in unity so that we can live a community life that supports and directs radical
commitment and powerful witnessing for the risen Christ? We must obey the Lord's constant command: "Do not fear."
How can we overcome fear, be "of one heart and one mind," live a new, free life, and be a powerful "witness to the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus"? (Acts 4:32, 33) "Love has no room for fear; rather, perfect love casts out all fear" (1 Jn 4:18).
To begin moving towards being powerful witnesses for Jesus, we need to receive His love much more deeply. This love will cover a
multitude of sins (1 Pt 4:8) and motivate us to fearlessness, unity, commitment, and power (see 2 Cor 5:14).
