- Carol Nemec,

- Yes!

- Jesus promised that if we "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
- ALL of these things will be added to us." I am convinced that those who give
- God of their "firstfruits", He will be faithful to provide what we need
- "according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
-
- By the way, God doesn't NEED your money! He can create a universe with a
- spoken word. He can feed thousands from a young lad's sack lunch. He can
- find money to pay taxes in the mouth of a fish! We give, not because God
- needs the money but because WE need to learn to give. The Bible says it so
- eloquently, "for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
-
- God Bless!
