circumstances, expresses love of God, neighbor, creation, and oneself.
- A disciple shares generously through tithing so that others may
experience God’s generosity.
- A disciple saves wisely in order to create a better tomorrow for
self, family, the church’s mission, and the world.

harmony with God and the world.
