Tonight our Pastor preached an excellent message on our First Fruits. He read some of our churches stats on giving.
71% of our church members give $0, Nothing, Nada.
86% of our church give under $1,000.00 a year.
What's amazing to me is that this is actually a pretty good percentage when you look at most churches giving patterns. Most churches fit into an 80/20 range. Meaning 20% give and 80% give nothing.
I can't help but think how many people could be reached if even 50% started to tithe. What a difference our churches across the world could make for the Kingdom of God if Christians really started to sacrifice for the Lord.
What a difference we could make if we weren't so consumed with all our stuff, and we could actually be consumed with giving our First Fruits to the Lord.
My Pastor said it best, "Revival would break out"
