Deuteronomy 8:18 CJB

No, you are to remember Adonai your God, because it is he who is giving you the power to get wealth, in order to confirm his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as is happening even today.

Today we continue with the theme “Biblical Finances” as we look at the offering – but probably not in the way you would expect.  Yes, offerings can be financial, over and above the tithe.  This act shows our love for God and his people.  

Romans 15:25-29

Notice Paul here calls their offering a “good deed”.  When we think of good deeds, what comes to your mind first?  Taking food to someone?  Mowing a neighbors lawn?  It involves action, doing something.  The Scriptures define an offering as a good deed.  If an offering is a good deed than a good deed is an offering.  In other words, offerings don’t always involve money.
