But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Hymn of the Month
- I was sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within, Sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea, Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, Now safe am I.
Refrain
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!
- All my heart to Him I give, Ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessèd presence live, Ever His praises sing.
Love so mighty and so true, Merits my soul’s best songs;
Faithful, loving service too, To Him belongs.
- Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love, Out of the angry waves.
He’s the Master of the sea, Billows His will obey;
He your Savior wants to be, Be saved today.
