Automate What’s Important: Online Giving

by | Apr 9, 2015 | Church, Personal Finance, Relationship with God, Web/Tech |

On the weekend of Sat-Sun March 7-8, I taught on Simplicity in our Finances from Philippians 1:3-4, 4:10-13, and 4:17-20. We talked about Paul's contentment as he had:

  • No money
  • No freedom
  • No hope

He was content because his "riches" were in his relationship with Christ & the changed lives of those who became followers of Jesus.

I also taught that our money is both a spiritual thermometer (revealing our true spiritual temperature) and a spiritual steering wheel (able to change our direction and hearts).

Finally, I challenged you to automate what's important to you — to automate your tithing — the first 10% (calculated off the gross, not net) of everything God gives you.

So I finally automated it myself (I've always been a check-writer) and wanted to show you how to do it too:

  1. Go to visitgracechurch.com/give.
  2. Click the Sign In To Give button.
  3. Click Login.
  4. Complete Step 1 ("General Tithes, Amount, Weekly or Monthly, An End Date)
  5. Complete Step 2 (Add another like "The Ultimate Investment", Verify)
  6. Complete Step 3 (Enter your payment information, Use "Online Check" to minimize the fees banks are taking and maximize your gift)
