Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-ch chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

How to Give, as we pick up in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 verse 7.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck.

Now every man, and here's how we are to give, every man, according as he is purposed in his heart, so let him give.

Not grudgingly or out of pressure.

For God loves a hilarious giver. And that's what the Greek word means.

God takes it as a personal affront, and I would too if I were God.

When someone gives him something and then gripes about it.

You ever had someone give you something

and then they go around and complain

and, you know, about what they gave to you?

Giving grudgingly,

my feeling is always,

keep it, man.
