Buckets of Blessings - Paperback

THE gathering of information, to the inquisitive as well as to the indifferent mind, is the consequence of our Creator's magnificent design. "Knowledge," the collection of data-truthful or not-is enhanced simply by living. A writer's work is created using accumulated knowledge. Exhibition of the resultant accumulation is indicative of one's relationship with one's Creator-God.

In 2005, a small collaborative project gave rise to the publication of three tracts on biblical principles relating to money. They were The Ministry of Tithing, The Ministry of Giving, and The Ministry of Lending. In 2016, an additional tract was written entitled The Ministry of Almsgiving.

The Lord placed numerous roadblocks in the path of my resolute publication efforts. It was while in pursuit of the publication of the last tract and a reprint of the three originals, that there grew a consideration for a book-an extensive revision/expansion of the four tracts. It was during these researching efforts that I discovered the magnificent biblical precept of Grace Giving.

• While tithing is biblical, it is not Christian. This was strictly a practice, under Law, for the nation of Israel which has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ in the New Covenant of Grace. Furthermore, there is no instruction or example of a New Testament Christian tithing. Like temples, sacrifices, dietary laws, and priests, tithing has been nailed to the cross." More on this subject is to be found in the section entitled Grace Giving.
