A GIVING COMPETITION

READ:
. The apostle Paul instructed the church at Corinth: "Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver"(2 Corinthians 9:7).
At Christmastime, as we share gifts with others, we remember the generosity of God towards us - He gave us His Son. Ray Stedman said, "Jesus set aside His riches and entered into His creation in a state of poverty in order to enrich us all by His grace."
No gift-giving could ever compete with the Lord's extravagance. We thank God for the indescribable gift of Jesus(v.15). - Anne Cetas
Sing praise to the Father, Creator and King,
Whose mercy has taught us a new song to sing;
Who made us, and loved us though rebels and lost,
And planned our redemption at infinite cost. - Clarkson.

No gifts are greater than the gift of Christ Himself.

Acts 5:4-5

God often proves to be other than people think. Here, for example, death struck a man suddenly for lying before God. Is God therefore severe, when he makes use of His power unreservedly towards the weak?
Let us first briefly examine what preceded this judgment. Holy zeal for the...More
