Think about what your offering to God communicates.
Read Deuteronomy 18:1-8
Holiness and hatred cannot dwell in the same house. The man who abuses his wife shows her hatred not love. The congregation that doesn’t give generously shows hatred not love. The teenager who disobeys his parents shows hatred not love. Holiness and hatred cannot dwell together but love and holiness fit together like a hand in a glove.
Israel, in being holy, was to show love not hatred towards the ministers of the Lord - the Levites. They were to be provided for from the offerings and sacrifices given to the Lord. These men and their families had no inheritance of land in the Promised Land but would be blessed by the Lord through the people.
By giving sacrificially the people communicated love, not hatred. What are you communicating to those around you?
Prayer:
¥ Pray for Geoff Bullock, Family Voice Australia, who in the coming months will be making appointments to explain to Campbell Newman and his new MPs, how Family Voice operates.
¥ Geoff has encouraged us to establish and nurture a relationship with your elected member, to keep accountability at a high level.
As a church, pray how you can be pro active in building a bridge with your local MP.
