		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I read an encouraging testimony of God&#8217;s faithfulness and I was taken back by how great our God is. But, in my bible study this morning I was reminded of how often we try to assume for ourselves His greatness. This thought was keyed off of Matthew 9:34 which says But the Pharisees said, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=freelygiving.org&amp;blog=14894973&amp;post=804&amp;subd=freelygiving&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since hearing a sermon on this passage yesterday, I have been thinking about what a life above reproach means with finances. The sermon was on Titus 1 about the qualifications of elders but as our pastor pointed out it is applicable to all Christians because we should be striving to live such a life.

		<description><![CDATA[As I am continuing my way through the book of Acts during my weekly bible study, I am taken aback at all the verses that involve giving in the early church.
