8. Every hour of your work will do more for the kingdom of God.

7. When you get a tax reimbursement, you’ll know you’ve already tithed on it and it’s yours to spend (!!!).

6. Your heavenly Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you (Matt. 6:4).

5. Your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God (2 Cor. 9:11).

4. You’ll be able to see God’s faithfulness to you more clearly (Malachi 3:10).

3. Having a little less discretionary money will force you to use more discretion in what you buy (and discretion’s a good thing – Proverbs 2:11).

2. That much more of your money will go towards the things that matter most—announcing the good news that Jesus is Lord in your neighborhood, caring for the poor, sending missionaries to the ends of the earth with the hope that comes only through Jesus.
