Give Christianly: Supporting Faithful Ministries

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. -Missionary Amy Carmichael

Welcome to the "Give Christianly" section of Christianly.net! Here, we focus on the vital aspect of generosity in the Christian life. Giving is more than just a financial transaction; it's an expression of our gratitude to God and a reflection of His love and provision. Our goal is to help you steward your resources—time, talents, and treasure—in ways that honor God and further His kingdom.

Supporting Faithful Ministries

Many ministries today face the challenge of maintaining their Christian message amidst societal pressures. Unfortunately, some have diluted their message to be "inoffensive," while others have allowed progressive elements to distort their purpose. These pressures can lead to compromises on biblical truth, resulting in ministries that no longer faithfully represent the gospel. For example, some organizations have shifted their focus from evangelism to purely social justice initiatives, losing the balance between addressing physical needs and proclaiming the gospel. Others have adopted secular ideologies that conflict with biblical teachings on issues such as marriage, sexuality, and sanctity of life.

In "Give Christianly," we aim to introduce you to organizations that are committed to serving others in the name of Jesus, remaining steadfast in their mission to proclaim the truth unashamed. Here’s how we can help you engage in Christ-centered giving:

• Identify Faithful Ministries: We will spotlight organizations that uphold the truth of the gospel and serve with integrity. By providing detailed profiles and testimonies, you'll have the information you need to support ministries that align with your values and beliefs. These ministries may include local churches, missionary organizations, and charitable groups that prioritize both evangelism and discipleship.

• Encourage Christ-Centered Giving: Discover how your support can make a real difference in advancing God's kingdom. We'll share stories of impact, outline specific needs, and offer practical advice on how to give effectively and joyfully. Whether through financial donations, volunteering, or prayer, your contributions can help further the mission of faithful ministries. We'll also provide guidance on avoiding organizations that have strayed from their biblical foundations, helping you to discern where your support will have the most faithful and fruitful impact.

The Importance of Discernment

Supporting faithful ministries requires discernment. It's crucial to evaluate the doctrinal statements, mission focus, and practices of any organization before committing your resources. We'll provide tools and criteria to help you assess ministries, ensuring that they adhere to biblical truth and operate with transparency and accountability. This discernment helps protect against supporting groups that have succumbed to progressive pressures and ensures that your contributions are used to glorify God and advance His kingdom.

Stories of Impact

To inspire and inform your giving, we will share stories of ministries that have remained faithful under pressure and are making a significant impact for Christ. These testimonies will highlight:

• Transformational Work: How these ministries are effectively sharing the gospel and making disciples.

• Compassionate Outreach: Ways they are addressing physical and spiritual needs without compromising the gospel message.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21
