Although it is better to give than to receive, giving is harder for most people. Giving is not only good stewardship; it enables the church to help those in need. Respected Christian financial expert Larry Burkett uses God's Word to show the strong biblical basis for giving to and serving in the church. Using benevolence ministries as an example, Burkett explains how God uses Christians to minister in His name. This is accomplished by giving back to God a portion of what He has graciously given.

“the tithe was established as a physical, earthly demonstration of man’s commitment to God” (source)

“The main reason we should give to God is really for our own sakes. In so doing we remember that He is the owner of all we have, and we are only managers.” (source)

“If a Christian’s first priority is God, then an understanding of God’s way is mandatory. That means personal Bible study. It also means a personal prayer life dedicated to the needs of others as well as to personal needs.” (source)

“lack of giving is an external material indicator that spiritual changes need to be made” (source)
