Economic Stimulus Checks

I'm excited. 
Uncle Sam is sending our Economic Stimulus Tax-Refund Check in the next week or so.

And I'm excited.  Why? 
Because it's not mine.  It's all God's.

I'm excited to give some of it back to Him through my local church.

Yes, excited.

Because I have a choice of Kingdoms to advance:  the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Self.

Jesus talked extensively about the Kingdom of Self in Matthew 6.19-34. 

Earth-bound treasures.
Anxiety-bound needs.
Every time I read His words, I get hit by the Holy 2x4.  Challenging.  Convicting.  Dang.

Investing in the Kingdom of God, on the other hand,
reaps benefits not bound by time. 

Which excites me.  And glorifies Him.  So I will give Him back a portion of what He is giving me.  Through His church.   Stimulating a Kingdom not of this world...
