I had the song “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey going in my head while I was making sure I had the correct website up for church tomorrow morning.  Boom!  I needed to sign up and GIVE regularly like I always do.  I should have given last week, but there was no church with everything going on with The Corona Virus.  It is super easy to get out of routine and forget about some of the important details.  This also reminded me to make sure that my other Kingdom giving is up to date.  During a time like this, it is easy to get out of routine and think of self.

My encouragement to everyone…. Don’t stop GIVIN’ to the Kingdom of God!  GIVE to your church and GIVE to Missions!

By the way, I just so happen to be a full time missionary and feel free to GIVE/INVEST into a ministry that is BEARING MUCH KINGDOM FRUIT!

The Cheerful Giver- 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[e] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written,

“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever.”

10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their approval of this service, they[f] will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, 14 while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

 

In His Mighty Grip,

Mark
