Does a church have to have money to give generously? No just look at his letter in 2 Corinthians chapter 8. Macedonia was a poor church but gave richly...how did they do that? They gave themselves first to the Lord and then to each other. This plan of beginning with God is still the soundest way to teach stewardship in the church. Here is the passage...
"And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will."
We sometimes get off track and forget this obvious truth. Every church should read this passage and take this to heart. Our reason for giving begins and ends with God. We give to God the tithe through the church.
