Offerings from a Grateful Heart
God has never been into mandatory offerings. He wants His people to have willing hearts, and to bring freewill offerings for the various work of the church. Therefore Christians with a heart to please God and to build the Kingdom tend to offer financial sacrifices.

Christians are to Consistently Reflect on their Attitudes and Behaviors
To love one's self, Biblically speaking, is not selfish or self-serving in the wrong sense. For the Christian, real self-love is cultivating the new man (Christ) within.

God is God and He is Able -- Mo Matter What the Circumstances Are God Can Do It
Fear is the believer's greatest enemy. When a believer has fear, he cannot have believing faith. Fear paralyzes, frustrates and cripples. Fear also involves torment as 1 John 4:18 states.

Believers can Count on an Inheritance on Earth and in Heaven

When Times are Hard Don't Complain but be Thankful
Life is more than food and clothes and houses and cars and stuff. Life is not all about accumulation of things. He who dies with the most money or the most toys, still dies. Life for the Christian is about loving God and loving others, and introducing people to the Lord Jesus Christ. People are to be loved and things are to be used, and never the opposite.

Regardless of the Changes in the World, the Law of Sowing and Reaping is Constant
It is valuable to take a personal assessment. If one is unhappy with the crop they are reaping in their life, they need to look at what kind of seeds they are sowing. What one gives out comes back in some way, shape or form. The reason it's true is because God established the law of seedtime and harvest, or sowing and reaping.
