Expanding
"I am growing in my faith by expanding my tithe to God through Harvest. (I am learning to be generous.)"
"But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving." ~ 2 Corinthians 8:7
Individual Application
- Periodically review my "giving increase" -- the amount I am giving to God through Harvest.
- Increase my percentage on an annual basis or as the Lord leads.
- A good rule of thumb is to increase my percentage giving to my tithe by 1/2 - 1% each year.
