Pastor Ken Davis explores how giving to the work of God is an essential part of a healthy believer's life, serving as both a barometer of spiritual health and a catalyst for growth in Christ.
• God's Word should be our delight, not merely an obligation or duty
• The healthy Christian life isn't about "if" but "when" regarding spiritual disciplines
• Jesus teaches charitable giving should be done in secret, without seeking recognition
• Giving to the church supports both operations and meeting needs of those struggling
• Prayer should be approached as speaking to a perfect Father who loves us completely
• Jesus' model prayer teaches us to acknowledge God's person, seek His purposes, request His provision
• Our prayer life reveals the closeness of our relationship with God
• Setting aside regular morning devotional time is crucial for spiritual development
If you want to grow in your faith, give. Test the Lord and see what He will do for you and through you.
