Our church is going through a study on a wonderful little book by Randy Alcorn called The Treasure Principle.  I must admit, when I first looked at the book I thought it would be just another reminder of the whys and hows of tithing and giving.  Great reminders, but things I have heard all my life.  I went ahead and started in on the daily readings and have had my socks blessed off in the process.

Broken down into five readings per week, the book has both convicted and challenged Mike and I in our finances.  This morning I read about the church in Macedonia.  The believers there were extremely poor and yet they begged Paul for the privilege of giving.  Why?  Because they recognized the joy and blessing that come from giving above your ability to do so.  Though we tithe and give, I can't say we have fully grasped the mindset of the Macedonian church.  I pray we can come to that point.  This little gem of a book is certainly pointing us in the right direction.

Check it out!  You won't be disappointed.
