What the Bible Says about Giving
The ultimate example of giving was set by God, as He sacrificially gave
His own Son (John 3: 6). In turn, His Son continued to be a giving
example to us (Eph 5:2). God’s word also teaches us that every good and
perfect gift comes from the Lord (James 1:17), and so everything you are
blessed with ultimately belongs to Him. You are entrusted by God with
stewardship over your finances, resources and time, and it is your
responsibility as a believer to be a good steward and give back to God
what is His through giving to the church and to others.
Good stewardship over our financial resources involves the way we earn,
spend, save, invest and give. We would like to provide our members a
convenient way to give to the church that is also secure and easy, and
so we are pleased to offer online giving. There are several ways to give
electronically online: automatic checking withdrawal, debit cards and
credit cards. This giving option has advantages, and we want each person
who chooses this option to make sure they are giving in a spirit that is
pleasing to the Lord.
Why use Online Giving?
-
Through encryption technology, giving online at
New Birth is safe and
secure. It is processed by the best e-security available.
-
You may deduct a specific dollar amount from a checking account or
credit card, which may be a one-time gift or a recurring gift at
intervals you specify. You can even view past contributions
and make
changes for recurring gifts as necessary.
-
Online giving allows you to minimize the number of checks written,
posted, carried and managed.
-
With online giving, you will be
helping the church to be a good steward
over its finances, as more of your gift can be retained by the
ministries of the church because this is the lowest cost method of
processing.
