What is the state of my free will in relationship to God's?
Exodus 36:3-5
They received from Moses all the offerings the children of Israel brought for all the works for making the holy place, and they continued bringing him freewill offerings every morning. Then all the wise men who were doing all the work of the holy place came, each according to the work he was doing, and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the work the Lord commanded us to do.”
Encouraging Words...
Imagine, if you can, what the Church, and the world, would be like if we, the members of the body of Christ, gave so much from our wealth that the leaders had to say. "Stop!" We would be able to send missionaries to all parts of the earth who would not have to worry about where their support was coming from...the Great Commission. We would be able to feed the poor, clothe the naked, and take care of the widow and the orphan, our neighbors...the Great Commandment. The Church would be bringing the kingdom of God to life here on earth. This is God's will for us, just as it was His will that the early Israelites build His tabernacle. However, He did not force them to give of their wealth, He just asked them to give of their own free will. When we, the children of God, align our free will with His, He does mighty and glorious things.
