In the Bible the “tithe,” or first ten-percent of our income, is the basic standard of giving. We give both to support the things God is doing in the world and also for the health of our souls. Billy Graham said, “If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every area of his life.”
Actually, giving is the wrong word. It’s stewarding. A steward is someone who is responsible for watching over someone’s property in their absence – like a house sitter. God makes us stewards of all the things he has given us or loaned us – ‘our’ finances, ‘our’ bodies, ‘our’ skills. So the question becomes not, how much of my money will I give back to God? The question becomes, how much of God’s money do I need to keep for myself and my family?
What money is used for at Sand Run
When it comes to the practicalities of stewarding and giving, we encourage visitors not to give financially to Sand Run. But for those who have made SRBC their home we encourage them to give generously. That giving ends up in Hebron and all around the world. It supports the day-to-day operations of the church but it also goes to support missionaries around the world and ministries that help the poor in the surrounding area. Both in Hebron and around the world–everything we do is aimed to give away the faith that we have so freely been given.
