God's Method Of Financing His Work

The Lord checks our billfolds, knows our gifts whether large or small. As he did the temple worshippers. The saying we hear much: “the Lord knows how much I give, he knows my heart, whether or not I would give more if I had it.” These sayings are true, he does know, John 2:24. a true worshipper will know more ignore the collection plate than any other part of the service. 1 Corinthians 3, a wise master builder will not ignore the blueprint.
