GOD'S PLAN FOR GIVING
GOD'S PLAN FOR GIVING
by John MacArthur
published by Moody Press, Chicago, IL, 1982 paperback, 100 pages
At some time in the life of every church, stewardship and giving will have to be emphasized. And you will be on one of two sides of this issue; either you will have to motivate others to give, or else you will have to be motivated by others to give.
Pastor-teacher John MacArthur of Grace Community Church in Southern California has written a very easy-to-read, well-organized, and concise exposition of Christian stewardship in this 100 page paperback book. The author of this book has a large following from radio broadcasts, book releases, and distribution of his sermons
on audio cassettes worldwide. This particular book is a transcript (with some revisions) of 6 sermons preached at his church on this topic of Christian stewardship.
MacArthur takes the Bible literally on this subject and points out how God had ordered giving: before the Law of Moses in the early parts of the Old Testament, during the Law of Moses throughout the majority of the Old Testament, and finally after the Law of Moses in the New Testament. One is surprised to read that the Old Testament commands not just 10% but at least a minimum of 20% of one's income for stewardship purposes. But when one crosses over into the New Testament, MacArthur says, the NT teaches NO quota or percentage which one must give that is either stipulated or commanded by God.
The reader has found this book to be the best short summary of Christian Stewardship ever written. The book is very well outlined and it is very easy for the reader to locate some particular feature of Christian stewardship within its 100 pages.
Reading and understanding this book by MacArthur should be imperative upon any pastor, administrator, elder or deacon involved in church stewardship and giving. It may save one a lot of blood, sweat, and tears worrying about both personal and church finances. If this book is not available, you can purchase the audio form of these messages by ordering the 6 - audio cassette series from GRACE TO YOU (MacArthur's Radio Ministry) at 1-800-554-7223.
