Can You Test God With Your Offerings?
Q: Could you explain the concept of “testing God with your offerings”? Does God “return favors” to us? Where is the line with the prosperity gospel in regards to offerings?
In their conversation, Michael and Janet discuss:
“There’s a huge chasm in what I call ‘applied Christianity.’ We’re amen-ing on Sunday, we’re marking in our Bibles, we’ve got all of our concordances and our notes, and Monday comes—and we’re like deer in front of the headlights, and we don’t have a clue how to apply the whole truth of the whole gospel to the whole world around us.“
Scripture referenced
Hebrews 12:1-3
Acts 17:28
