@Pastorde can i serve God with my time and energy instead of giving monetary offerings?
Giving monetary offerings is the lowest of the three in my view, because when you devote your
time and energy you are actually giving much much more, you are giving
your life in the most direct form. When you give
money, you also give your life in an
indirect way because you
exchange your time/energy for money, and because life is measured in time(years), you will have given your time in a way. For instance, if you are earning 30k per month it means you make 1k per day. When you give me 1k of your salary, you will have given me a day of your life. Get it? But once you consider you are giving out of love, you will not feel that pain pple associate with giving. Notice when you take someone out that you love you dont keep thinking about the cost? Now think about your creator. The overriding commandment is..........,
Love the LORD with all your heart and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Got it?
