“He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” 2 Cor 9:6

God will allow the most amazing truths to come from the most unlikely situations.  I recall a conversation with an individual who was not accepting of the church and his need for a savior, but was able to ask a poignant question which had a lot of merit.  He referred to an article he saw in which it stated that a small percentage of Christians actually supported their local church with tithes or offerings. He stated he was surprised; he thought if we believed the bible and stuff about God Christians would be willing to support it and invest in it!  His statement was not arguable in truth, but what was amazing to me was the fact he was able to “get it” and yet many believers don’t.  Jesus in this instance sided with the individual I spoke with stating, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Mt 6:21)  Our investment in Christ is to go far and beyond tithes and includes our time and talents we use to invest in God as well.  Unfortunately my encounter was correct, too many Christians often sow a handful of seeds and pray for a bountiful harvest.  Are we as Christians investing in what we believe or what we desire, when it comes to our time, talents and tithes?

God does not want your money, He wants your heart and everything else will follow.
