Christianity is about giving. John 3:16 begins “For God so loved the world, that he gave…” God gave. Through His generosity, we are given the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

A Christian’s Will is a Matter of Stewardship

A will is a legally executed document that disposes of an individual’s property according to stated desires. Wills can be short, long, clear or complicated. Not having a valid will can lead to a costly, time-consuming and relationship-damaging process.

Rendering to Caesar is Optional

One day Jesus was teaching in the temple when a Pharisee, hoping to get Jesus in trouble with the Romans, asked him if it was lawful for Israelites to pay taxes. That put Jesus on the spot. If he said yes, the crowds surrounding him would have become angry because they felt Rome had no business running their lives and taxing them to enrich Caesar. On the other hand, if Jesus said no, the Roman soldiers would have cause to arrest him and throw him in jail.
