The Importance of Giving

A healthy, well-balanced church deserves support but it cannot exclusively be called the storehouse into which the tithe must go. The macro issue is supporting those who are most productive in advancing the work of the kingdom and also taking care of the needs of the poor and needy. T.D. Jakes talks about how we ought to give to get, not give in order to establish the principles of the kingdom, but that we ought to giving to get. There's no telling what can be accomplished in our generation if we may but catch the joy of contagious giving.
