In 1148, Are You a Cheerful Giver, Reverend Nick Catania reminds us that God's Word is a book of promises. If you want things like peace, wisdom, strength, or prosperity there are principles that you can apply and promises you can claim. Some churches claim that a believer is cursed if one does not give ten percent of their income. Although this was true in the old testament, Jesus Christ delivered us from the curse of the law. Nonetheless, many benefits accrue to a cheerful giver. If this is an area that you want to grow in, there is much you can learn from this teaching.
