Over a two-year period of time Dr. Mark Ballard led Christian Fellowship Baptist Church on a Journey Through the Bible. Each week the Sunday Morning, Sunday Night, and Wednesday Night services were dedicated to a single book of Scripture. As the Church came to 2 Corinthians Pastor Mark sensed the Lord leading him to spend three weeks on this book. During that three-week period, he preached three sermons on the subject of Grace Giving. These three sermons served as background preparation for the development of this booklet.
Very few subjects raise emotions like the subject of giving. Some pastors avoid the subject altogether. Others seem to overemphasize it so much that people feel that all the church ever does is ask for money. Even among those who attempt to preach and teach about giving, there seems to be tension. Some emphasize tithing as the essential standard. Others emphasize Grace Giving as the priority concept in giving. Some simply advise their listeners to give whatever they desire or to not give at all.
In this short booklet, Dr. Ballard explains his own journey in dealing with the subject of giving. He describes his own struggle with knowing how to deal with the Biblical concepts at a time when many television preachers were abusing the subject. He then shares how the Lord moved in his heart to settle the issue once and for all. In addition to explaining his own journey, Ballard leads the reader through an examination of three crucial texts of Scripture that teach the meaning of Grace Giving.
