By
Using Our Time, Talents, & Treasures We Fuel Our
Faith to Grow
As Christians we confess that all that we have has been
given to us from the giving hand of God. He has given
us all things. In the Large Catechism, Luther speaks of
the first commandment, “the meaning of this
commandment, namely, that we are to trust in God alone,
and look to Him and expect from Him naught but good, as
from one who gives us body, life, food, drink,
nourishment, health, protection, peace, and all
necessaries of both temporal and eternal things. He
also preserves us from misfortune, and if any evil
befall us, delivers and rescues us, so that it is God
alone from whom we receive all good, and by whom we are
delivered from all evil. God is an eternal fountain
which gushes forth abundantly nothing but what is good,
and from which flows forth all that is and is called
good.”
Since the Lord has our best interest at heart and gives
us all good, we are free then to give generously to our
Lord’s church. We are asked by God to give of our
abundance. While the amount will be different for each
of us, we all sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel so
that Christ’s church will thrive and be a place
where the gifts of God are joyfully given and received.
