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.

FATHER'S DAY
"Make disciples of all the nations. Baptize them in the name 'of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.' " —
Matthew 28:19
We have been created to be baptized "in the name 'of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.' " The word "baptized" means
"to be immersed in." The meaning of life is to be immersed in, that is, preoccupied with and consumed by the Holy Trinity (see Heb
12:29).
We enter into Trinitarian love and life through Jesus, the only Way to the Father (Jn 14:6) and the One Who baptizes us in the Spirit
(Mk 1:8). Then the Father reveals the Son (see Lk 10:22), and the Spirit witnesses for Jesus (Jn 15:26) and proclaims Jesus as Lord (1
Cor 12:3). We are then immersed within a crossfire of Trinitarian love.
To be drawn even more deeply into the mystery of Trinitarian love, one of the most important events which must occur is for the Spirit
to cry out in our hearts "Abba," that is, "Father" (Rm 8:15; Gal 4:6). When we know the Father's love so personally, we are usually
immersed in the Trinity forever. However, we may withdraw from Trinitarian love if we quench the Spirit crying out "Abba" by
refusing to trust God, forgive our earthly fathers, or repent of our sins of selfishness and self-reliance.
Are you going to go all the way with the Trinity or back out? The Holy Spirit is crying "Abba." Fall into your Father's arms.
†Most Reverend Joseph R. Binzer, Auxiliary Bishop, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, October 21, 2014. Copyright © 2015 Presentation Ministries.
