How should we give?
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
Well illustration: two kids with glasses. Both start with clean glasses. Fill the glasses with clean, pure water and ask them to take a drink.
One allows bad things to be put into the heart, the other refuses the bad things.
Gossip: dirt
Violent Video Games: blood
Drugs: grass (marijuana)
Now ask both children to take a drink
You will reap what you sow
You will reap what you sow
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
What kind of seeds are you sowing?
What kind of seeds are you sowing?
Hold up water melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, corn seeds and ask what they will grow.
Hold up anger seeds, lying seeds, cussing seeds.
What sort of actions do you think these seeds will grow.
Many people fill the garden of their heart with all kinds of bad seeds and then wonder why they are having problems in life.
Who Is In Your Heart?
Who Is In Your Heart?
All of us will decide what sort of things we allow into our heart.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
The devil enters the stage from the piano side. He is acting mean.
Have the devil knock at the door on the right side of the stage.
First time: little boy opens the door, the devil pulls the boy out and begins to beat on him
Second time: little boy has his friend. The devil pulls them out and begins to beat them both up
Third time: the devil knocks on the door and Jesus answers. Jesus steps out, knocks out the devil with one punch.
Where is your heart?
Where is your heart?
Are you holding on to it? If so, that is a problem. You cannot protect it.
Have you given it to another person? They cannot protect it either?
The only safe place for our hearts is to give it to the Lord.
Dirty Glass: our hearts can get so dirty that we do not want anyone to see it. So we try to hide it. But we cannot hide from the Lord. He sees everything. He knows everything. But if we will bring our dirty, broken hearts to Jesus, He will wash them clean and make them new. He loves us and wants us to come to Him.
