amen to that, I used to feel as though I had to give to show I cared, but I now let the Lord lead me and I try not to feel guilty about the rest

AMEN!! How freeing it is to be spontaneous when Christ leads. Only He and us knows what’s happening with our works for Him. In the end He is all that matters and we do all we do for Him anyway so who else should know. Thank you Lord for your gentle way with us!

Thanks for quick reply.
I will love to read it on my kindle for PC (it is very easy to transfer it to my overdrive on my blackberry device) pending the time until I get my iPhone then I can purchase it on my iBook.

Once again, thank you for your kind reply.

In reply to John David. Amazon, Nook, and iTunes do not allow purchases from Nigeria. Which title are you interested in, and which device do you want to read it on?

This is really frustrating. I just have to say it like it is from my heart. Amazon, Nook and iTunes wont grant access for someone outside US to buy this e-book. I’ve tried my best on my Kindle, nook and on my iTunes but I can’t buy it. I can’t even recommend it for friends here.
Is there anything that can be done as regard this, Chip?

I will be looking forward to your reply as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing this.
Blessings…

The fellowship I was affiliated with always gave the members a labeled envelope with everyone’s personal number, name and they wanted the amount given to be put on the outside. Everyone that handled the money, from the offering plate to the safe, would know who gave and how much. This always bothered me very much. I personally didn’t think it was anyone’s business. I would never put the amount on the outside, for that reason. They said it was to identify for tax reasons, and it probably was. Everything was so business like and absolutely nothing could be in secret or personal. If giving was not labeled they just put it in the petty cash account and the Pastor and his staff had a visa that dipped into this account for whatever, and very, very, very little was given to missions and benevolence. When I think about the operation of what I was affiliated with, it was not at all biblical. Matthew 18v6-7 says, Whoever causes one of the least of these little one’s who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were to drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! Do men in the church system not read this verse and take it to heart? They beg and threaten lie’s if people don’t tithe, and give sacrificially to every plea they make. Are these men that operate the false system of church, with lie’s of many things, not held to account that they cause the least of these children to sin, when what they ask for and how they ask for it goes against scripture? This and many other reasons is why I had to leave the only fellowship I ever knew. I could no longer be apart of sin, especially when the Lord opened my eye’s to truth. Our secret place with the Lord is a very special place indeed!

Amen! GOD is teaching us to be humble in every way. Pride is a sin and it must not be seen in us through our actions or in words.Humbleness before God makes us more Christlike in this world. Glory to God!

Thank you for this reminder of Jesus’ words! The way that funds must travel, through unscrupulous hands, leaves no choice for anonymity oftentimes. Methinks. But the Truth of His Words runs deeper than distrust of mankind to trusting Him.
