The word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow, and is a critic of thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12)
All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God might be mature, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15)

Giving: Gimmick or Grace? Giving is an expression
of worship that commemorates God’s grace. We are saved by His grace, we live by His
grace, and we give by His grace. Grace giving meets divine standards and glorifies God.
Grace giving requires the filling of the Holy Spirit and reflects grace orientation, Bible
doctrine resident in the soul, and virtue-love. This book focuses on two chapters in
Second Corinthians which present aspects of God’s grace, illustrate grace giving in
the early church, and define correct motivation and mental attitude for giving.
