I love this part of the story in Ex 36:3-7. The artisans working on the tabernacle told Moses that the people were giving too much. So Moses sent round an order that everyone had to stop bringing their offerings. They already had too much! What was the secret? It is summed up in the repetition of phrases like "hearts were moved" and "hearts were willing". The giving went beyond material things. People also gave their time and their skills and their talents. Thank God for such people today!
Contrast this with what we see in Matthew 27 -- Judas betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver!
Hi and welcome.
Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power".
This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow.
Blessings. Ps John.
