Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

Giving is a Form of Worship

At Santa Fe Christian Church I have said many times that we worship God in various forms and ways. We worship in music, prayer, communion, scripture readings and giving . . . yes, giving.

I have tried to stress to our people that giving of tithes and offerings is a form of worship. Many have caught on and give joyfully, and generously. Others haven’t really grasped the concept of worship through giving.

For me it has never been about the amount people give, it is really about the attitude of the heart toward giving. Remember this, God looks at the heart, not the hand; the giver, not the gift.
