That Which Costs Me Nothing

God names the place and the day, and He expects us there.

Worship happens on God’s terms or it is not worship at all.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.John 4:24

Don’t delay your obedience for a more convenient season.

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.Psalm 119:60

A faith that requires nothing from me is worth nothing to me.

A leftover offering tells God exactly what you think He is worth.

But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.Malachi 1:14

Sacrifice is based in proportion to what we have.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.Mark 12:44

A gift only counts when it empties something.

Authentic worship requires me to rearrange the priorities of my heart.

For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;2 Corinthians 8:3

Your finances are an indication of what you value and what you love.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Luke 12:34

Fire falls on altars that cost somebody something.

Nothing burns on an empty altar.

And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.Leviticus 9:24

One man’s sacrifice can stand between a nation and its judgment.

And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.Numbers 16:48

Audit your time, talent and treasure and determine how much God has of you.

The world will not be won to Jesus on spare time and spare change.

Are there line items in your budget that could be reallocated to allow the Kingdom to advance?

Some things are worth the sacrifice.
