Counsels on Stewardship -- Study Guide

46/90

Lesson 6

Section 6 — Liberality Abounding In Poverty

Section 7 — The Wealth of the Gentiles

Section 8 — The True Motives for Acceptable Giving

Introduction

How “sacrificial” should a “poor” person be? Under what conditions should the church accept the “wealth of the Gentiles”? Is the motive with which a gift is given actually more important to God than the value of the gift? Finally, are worldly methods actually being used in some of our churches to stimulate giving? These are among the crucial themes you should ponder in sections VI, VII, and VIII of Counsels on Stewardship. CS-SG 35.1
