Investing in God's Kingdom

Today, our evangelistic efforts ought to be patterned after the same principles which guided the apostolic church’s missionary efforts. Unless our churches have cultures of generosity, our evangelistic efforts will be ineffective because generosity and the gospel are inseparable. However, when we as the contemporary church integrate the message of the gospel with the practice of sacrificial generosity, we imitate not only the example of the early church, but the Head of the church, Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 8:9).
