Giving it all you’ve got.
BQ: My friend Luke pointed out the example of Levi the tax collector in Lk 5:27-28, who, when Jesus said, "Follow me," left everything behind. Are we still clinging to things of the past? There's a tendency for us to want to give and receive credit for it, while holding a little back.
Q: What does the Bible say about giving?
A: 2 Cor 9:6-7, Acts 5:1-11, Lk 16:10-12
Ananias and Sapphira wanted to give some money, but they also wanted to hold back a little in secret. Much more dangerous for us is wanting to worship God a little, yet hold back some secret sins. 1 Cor 10:31, Col 3:23, and many other verses tell us to do everything for the Lord, holding nothing back.
