I acknowledge that some leaders misuse funds but encourage you to give wisely rather than stop altogether. I emphasize that giving is not optional — it's a divine commandment, referencing Matthew 25's parable of the sheep and goats. I highlight that giving brings joy, fulfillment, and God's blessings in return, supported by Acts 20:35 and Luke 6:38. Even science backs the benefits of generosity. My challenge: give wisely, joyfully, and obediently.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LGqZeblIgQyCuDXIefmcivebZZRkTwAlkZMglK4pJJo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80YzI1/ODI2OTY1YWEyOGIw/OTczMmQ3M2Y5YmY1/YTMyMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
