Reasons to Give

Friday, Mar. 27, 2015

People give of their time, talent and treasure for a variety of reasons. Please consider these six reasons to give:

• We give to express our love of God in a concrete way.

• We give to ensure that we never forget that everything we have comes from God.

• We give to express our gratitude to God.

• We give as a deterrent against the vice of greed.

• We give to support the work of God through the life of the Church.

• We give because He gave.

If we put these reasons together and act upon them honestly, then giving will come naturally to us and be an act of worship rather than an obligation. Then, whether we give the widow’s mite or the millionaire’s estate, God will be pleased and Christ will be glorified through our giving.
