Ministries of Mercy – Session V
Giving and Keeping: A Balanced Lifestyle
Teaching: John Bennetch
Excerpt:
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Look after him,” he said, “and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.” (Luke 10:35)
“Christians must give sacrificially, until their lifestyle is lowered. However, giving must be in accord with calling and ministry opportunities. Also, every believer must be a steward of possessions so as not to become a burden and liability to his or her family” ( Keller, p. 67)
