ONE GREAT TRUTH: God has called on His people to give from a willing heart with the promise that whatever we give, He can multiply.

We are experiencing difficult economic times, the likes of which the present generation has never really seen before. Some who lived through the late 70’s have seen recession, inflation, and unemployment hit a peak. And perhaps a few of you can remember the Great Depression, but the generation that is growing up now has not seen it yet. So what do we normally do when things get really tough?

• We panic and feel hopeless or desperate.
• We begin to try to plan our way out of it and horde.
• We foolishly ignore it and suffer.

What should we do? Pray, save, work hard, and give.

THREE THINGS GOD MULTIPLIES…

1. He multiplies my treasure.

God asked them to bring every kind of fine material – linen, stones, wood, and precious metals. And they brought.

2. He multiplies my time.

This is perhaps the greater sacrifice for many. In fact, some would make the excuse, “Well I don’t have much time to give, but here’s a check.”

3. He multiplies my talents.

God has given every one of us natural abilities as well as supernatural abilities (those who know Christ) to be used for His glory and for His Kingdom.

God’s Kingdom isn’t really that affected by recession. God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the Bible says. He doesn’t need your money or even your time. But He invites you to invest in an opportunity that promises an amazing return.

ONE GREAT TRUTH: God promises His presence to His people, but we experience His presence in a real way only as we remain in step with Him.

When I was little, I used to have 2 tendencies when keeping up with my Dad… I would either move very slow and trail way behind, or I would run over his heels, which he always loved!

Israel had the problem of either lagging behind or running ahead of God. We do the same, don’t we? We often make our plans and rush ahead, or we fall out of touch and lag behind. But God wants us to really experience His presence in a real way on a daily basis by staying in touch with Him.

HOW TO REMAIN IN STEP WITH GOD…

1. Be aware of His presence… by being sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

2. Be listening for His will… by reading His Word.

3. Keep together with God’s people… by remaining in fellowship with others.

The Ministry Theme is quickly progressing to become the easiest system to allow Ministries to create or improve their web presence.

We offer several new improvements to support Ministries in need!

• Support Forum
• Contact Form
• FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
• Ministries in need of a internet home can contact me

The Theme is available for download.

• Something that looked nice and clean – a design that featured the content of the site well.
• Something easy to update – and few systems are as easy to update as WordPress.
• Something that was pre-designed to feature the elements that church web sites need the most – events, articles, and lots of informational pages.

We’re still perfecting the theme in the background. We want to create quite a few variations and skins for the Ministry Theme. Some churches need a dark background, others a grunge feel. Every church has its own personality and we hope to create a framework that will feature the personality of any church. We will also be creating a theme options page so that you can more easily change some of the elements of the front page and sidebars of the site. Here’s a feature list…

• Church and ministry-friendly layout.
• DHTML Drop down menu, automatically generated by page structure.
• Tabbed sidebars for a concise way to communicate information.
• Custom pages for home, links, and archives.
• Featured Post on the front page with built-in thumbnail support.
• Sub-featured posts on the front page as well.
• WordPress 2.8 ready, including handling of captions and images.
• Gravatar/avatar support is built into the comments.
• Base theme is relatively image-free for fast loading.

Keep watching for further developments and let us know what you’d like to see in the comments section below.
