There is a big difference between talking about faith and applying it. If God gave a college class in faith, it would be entitled "Applied Faith" rather than "Faith Theory". God wants faith working in every aspect of our relationship, even in our giving. As Hebrews 11: 6&7 remind us: without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
In today's podcast episode we continue to examine why I believe that even though God gives us scriptural instruction to give offertory gifts, He is actually interested in more than the gift itself.
Receive Monday's Meditation as "food for thought" for the week, then let it become "fuel for action" for the weekend and beyond!

Internet Bible Study - Chapters 12
A new lesson has been added.
CHAPTER 12 - WHY DID HE DO THAT? – A RESPONSE OF FAITH
This is the first of three topics discussing examples of motives for giving that please God. Abraham’s willingness to offer his son Isaac as an offering to God is examined to discern what motivated his actions. Abraham’s offering above all else was an offering of faith. He was willing to give Isaac because he believed God. He knew that God would either provide an alternative sacrifice or raise Isaac from the dead. He establishes a human example of giving without reservation with the belief that God will provide.
Reference Scripture:
Genesis 22: 1- 15 (Abraham willing to sacrifice Isaac)
Supporting Scriptures:
Hebrews 11:17 – 19 (Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead)
Genesis 15:1 ( I am your shield, your very great reward)
