March 1 marked the release of Randy’s new book Managing God’s Money. This month, three randomly drawn winners from this giveaway will win a copy.
God cares a great deal more about our money than most of us imagine. The sheer enormity of Scripture’s teaching on this subject screams for our attention.
When the following was posted last month on the Desiring God blog, written by Michael Oh, I was very touched by it. Read it, ponder it, pray over it. In case God speaks to your heart about giving, I’ve included a few ministries you may wish to invest in, an investment which will pay off for eternity.
Earlier this year I spoke at the Clarus Conference in New Mexico, along with Wayne Grudem. At one of the sessions we talked about the topic of giving and generosity, especially related to the younger generations.

Regarding choosing a financial lifestyle that is honoring to God, I received a blog comment from a reader, asking:
Do you believe that everyone should live modestly? (Would that be $30,000 per year, or $50,000, or $100,000, or...?)
How do you measure this? Should everyone have the same amount, or are some called to wealth and others not? 
When it comes to our attitude toward wealth, Jesus gave commands. When it comes to our specific possessions and lifestyle, he gave us principles. Jesus did not hand us a precise checklist of what we can and cannot own ...
Does the Old Testament model of tithing still apply to Christians today, since it was part of the old covenant?
