Matt 6: 1-4

This is a three pronged approach. Pastor Tom inspired this:

Money

Time

Talents 

Money, giving in Secrete not for show; you gave your life to this One man, who had the capacity to know and to love you even before you were ever aware of your need. 

Giving you possessions addresses needs of others where compassion overcomes you even as it did Him. The secrete aspect of giving is your desire to not be proclaiming to anyone what you did or why you did it, unless. It will bring Him glory, yet how often do we hear about what our giving does for others?

When giving Time: needs are met.  Not for recognition.  Left hand is not to know what the right hand has done.  Give that others will glorify God: not you.  Well done my brothers when these are practiced. 

Blessings result from our Father.  Our blessing is not in this world.  But in the kingdom. Righteousness is the blessing from giving.  

Talents are to be used to make a difference for others. 

Everything is His, freely give what He has entrusted.
