Why Should I Give to My Church? (De ce să dăruiesc în biserica locală?)

Many new believers have questions about what it means to live as a Christian in the context of a local church, and pastors are looking for resources to pass along to their congregations to help them think biblically about the Christian life. Church Questions is a series by 9Marks that seeks to provide Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions about church life. Each booklet offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment.

Statistics show that while charitable giving is as popular as ever in America, giving to the church has dropped significantly in the past several decades. The Bible, however, stresses the importance of Christian giving—specifically for the benefit of the local church. In this short booklet, Jamie Dunlop addresses the question Why should I give to my church? by demonstrating how giving to the local church is spiritually rewarding, accomplishes God’s purposes, and brings God glory.

Statisticile arată că, deși dărnicia pentru cauze caritabile este la fel de populară în America, dărnicia în biserică a scăzut semnificativ de-a lungul ultimelor decenii. Totuși, Biblia subliniază importanța dărniciei creștine, mai specific în beneficiul bisericii locale.

În această carte, Jamie Dunlop tratează întrebarea De ce ar trebui să dăruiesc în biserica mea? demonstrând felul cum dărnicia în biserica locală este aducătoare de răsplăți spirituale, împlinește scopurile lui Dumnezeu și Îi aduce slavă.
