0109 mag cover contentGround Zero of Faith

On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.
1 Corinthians 16:2

 

The headquarters of America’s armed forces is the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Being five-sided, there is an open courtyard in the middle of the Pentagon, and at the exact center of the courtyard is a small snack bar called Ground Zero Café. The center of the courtyard came to be called “Ground Zero” during the 1950s “Cold War” since it represented the most probable point of a nuclear attack from an enemy nation. “Ground Zero” was first used to refer to the leveled cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, following the explosions of atomic bombs near the end of World War II.

“Ground Zero” represents the center, or the foundation, after everything else has been stripped away. For the Christian, giving to God is “ground zero”—where we strip away all pretense and demonstrate the depth of our gratitude to God for what He has done for us. Giving is so foundational because it is costly. Giving calls us to put our trust in God as we give away resources we think we need.

If you want to take the pulse of your faith, there are many places to look— beginning with your checkbook.

The church treasurer counts what we give; God counts what we keep.
John Blanchard

In 1859, one of the most famous opening lines of any piece of literature was penned: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. . . .” When Charles Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities, he compared London and Paris at the time of the French Revolution (1789-1799). From his perspective in 1859, here is how he saw England and France...
