taken off or after? Gross or net Income? ---1 King 17:9-16 is applicable here. ---God told the widow that a prophet
will come to her house. ---The widow was from Zarephath. ---When Elijah arrived he asked her to
first make him a cake from the small amount of dough before she makes for
herself and her son. ---God first then us, is the principle
here. ---There are very rich people who are
looking on Sabbaths for small change in their pockets to throw in as offerings
to the Lord. Well… ---They look around in the car and ask
other members of the family whether they have a bill in their pockets. I know,
because I have seen it. And so did you. Right? ---The principle is wrong here: God gave
heaven to save us. He emptied the whole of heaven for that. And we look for
change or left-overs to give back? ---We make no small effort to find
enough to buy a burger or subway somewhere. Do we? We pay a hefty $7 dollars
with a smile on our face selecting our toppings. We even swing back and forth
on our feet while they are packing it for us. Don’t we? ---Happy to pay seven dollars for our
stomachs but not happy to pay the same for God on Sabbath morning. ---We buy rich gifts for friends but
what do we put in the offering plate? Left-overs and small change. ---Welcome to our generation. In
Maleachi’s time they were also giving sickly lambs instead of the healthy ones!
Did God see it? He did and spoke about it. ---God loves a freegiving person. Not
one that is forced to give. ---Is your money prepared properly for
this coming Sabbath? ---Some churches the members wait for the
pastor to preach the money out of their pockets. Not for Adventists. It is a
life principle and part of their faith. For those who do have faith. Faith is
essential for a happy Christian life. ---You want to be happy? Plan for God
and make God first, then our stomachs. Right? ---Someone said: I will open my business
on Sabbath but donate that money to the Lord. The Lord does not need that
money. He said, keep the Sabbath. Your business needs to be closed. Period.
That is biblical. We want to be biblical right?
