Sacrificial Giving is a response to the Generosity of God.
Our gifts should be:
Planned. Plan ahead of time what we intend to give, and have our gift
ready at collection time. Don’t simply drop a spare dollar in the basket
or let it pass by without giving.
Proportionate. Our giving should be in proportion to how greatly God
has blessed us.
Sacrificial. We ought to give more than just what is left over after
taking care of all our needs and wants.
Thankful. Our offering should be a grateful response to the immense
love God has shown for us.
Dar con sacrificio, es una respuesta a la generosidad de Dios.
Nuestros ofrenda debe ser:
Planeada. Planear con tiempo cuanto va a ser mi ofrenda, y tenerlo listo
para el tiempo de la colecta. No solamente soltar un dólar o dejar pasar
la canasta sin dar nada.
Proporcionalmente. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser en proporción a lo
muncho que Dios nos ha bendecido.
Sacrificialmente. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser mas de lo que simplemente
nos sobra despues de haber tomado para todas nuestras necesidades y
deseos.
Agradecimiento. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser una acción de gracias a Dios,
por el inmenso amor que nos ha manifestado.

O, KNOW!
"Yet I know, my brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did." —Acts 3:17
Contrary to the old sayings, ignorance is not bliss and what you don't know can hurt you and others very much. In addition to sin,
ignorance was the cause of the worst crime ever committed — our murder and execution of God by crucifixion on Calvary. Paul taught:
"None of the rulers of this age knew the mystery; if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Cor 2:8).
We "perish for want of knowledge" (Hos 4:6).
If we know God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we have eternal life (see Jn 17:3). However, if we don't know the Lord, even if
we say we do (1 Jn 2:4), we are caught up in "a great war of ignorance" (Wis 14:22). In this state of war and ignorance, people
"celebrate either child-slaying sacrifices or clandestine mysteries, or frenzied carousals in unheard-of rites, they no longer safeguard
either lives or pure wedlock; but each either waylays and kills his neighbor, or aggrieves him by adultery. And all is confusion — blood
and murder, theft and guile, corruption, faithlessness, turmoil, perjury, disturbance of good men, neglect of gratitude, besmirching of
souls, unnatural lust, disorder in marriage, adultery and shamelessness" (Wis 14:23-26).
The Lord doesn't expect us to know everything. He may not even expect us to know that much. Nonetheless, He does expect us to know
as much as possible. Know the truth. Know the teachings of Christ's body, the Church, especially those in the Bible. Know God (Phil
3:10).
