More on Giving
Today is a continuation of yesterday's thought on giving. The Bible often doesn't work as a handbook for various issues, but this passage is actually a really good example of the main parts of responsible fundraising. Here's a good breakdown of it:
"The topic of fund-raising is not one to be avoided or one that should embarrass us, but all fund-raising efforts should be planned and conducted responsibly.
Information
8:4
Definite purpose
8:4
Readiness and willingness
9:7
Dedication
8:5
Leadership
8:7
Enthusiasm
8:7–8, 11
Persistence
8:2–12
Honesty and integrity
8:21
Accountability
9:3" [1]
Obviously this is a simplification of the passage, but good and helpful thoughts nonetheless.
