Freely we have received...freely give. I understand the doctrinal debate, and it is for the most part good. but when everything settles...it is our responsibility, our character, our integrity....giving in a Christians life is not optional.
If anything, we should pray to be more sensitive, better stewards, just better for Him, and for each other, and for a world that is lost.

I think some have forgotten this passage. ....... 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
And maybe this one.... Out of context? You decide.
Mt 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
