At Walnut Grove Christian Church we know the truth in Jesus words: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” (Matthew 6:21)
First,
we want to thank you for giving. The reasons for giving are many. Some
give out of obedience to God's Word. Others give out of gratitude for
all the blessings God has given. Still more, give because they get
excited about how lifeless money can change trajectories, bless lives,
and impact the world.
Second, we want you to know that we are
committed to investing your giving wisely to bring people and God
together in love. Your giving supports the ministry of WGCC allowing us
to preach the Gospel, support our community,
create unity, bring healing, support missionaries, provide for the
needy, and support non-profits doing work around the world.
Third,
as Jesus' words imply, our money is one of the most accurate ways to
see the condition of our hearts. The New Testament looks at giving as
one indicator that someone has partnered their lives with God's plan.
General society has figured this out, it's why we hear people say, "Put
your money where your mouth is" or question, "You can talk the talk, but can you
walk the walk?" In the church,we put it differently, "Put your money
where your heart is and your heart will go where the money goes!"
Again, thank you for partnering with the ministries going on at Walnut Grove Christian Church. We'd love to share more about how your giving is making a difference.
