Welcome to our Blog
Many of these blogs have been adapted from papers written since the launch of Giving in Grace in 2005.
They include reflections from guest collaborators, guidance for getting the best out of The Programme and support for delivering a quality stewardship programme.
Our daily bread: why prayer matters
In the Bible financial giving and the worship of God’s people go hand in hand. It is in prayer that Jesus becomes Lord of our money and possessions. It is in prayer that we acknowledge God as owner and giver of all we have.
The planning group
A small planning group is vital in creating the case statement, planning and delivering a programme and as champions and advocates of bible based stewardship ministry.
Who asks, receives: why asking matters
Surely if people see the need or the opportunity the money will there? Sadly, not so much. Stewardship means asking.
According to what we have: the Gift Array
Christian giving begins in the heart. As Paul writes to the church in Corinth, “the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have” (2 Corinthians 8:12). This powerful reminder affirms that generosity is not about equal amounts, but equal willingness. Yet many believers still ask: how does the heart know what to give?
