Episode notes
Giving Should Aim For Eternal Value
- Giving is good and should be sacrificial, voluntary, and aimed at eternal value rather than immediate return.
- Mike Winger warns prosperity-style giving often promises temporal blessings and muddles old and new covenant teachings.
Give With Eternal, Not Transactional, Expectation
- Do prioritize laying up treasures in heaven rather than expecting guaranteed temporal financial returns from giving.
- Avoid treating Old Testament covenant promises about prosperity as automatic guarantees for New Covenant Christians.
Publicized Giving Produces Human Glory
- Publicly ordering donors by amount and praising large givers reverses Jesus' teaching to give in secret.
- Mike shows the giving-day format produces public glory for donors, which Scripture warns against.
