Gods Word instructs us to give in secret. But why, is it some sort of holy law or does God have a greater purpose for instructing us to give secretly? Before sharing my thoughts lets take a look at what the Bible says:
The Bible seems clear on the matter but how should our giving manifest itself? And more practically, how does this affect a Christian? Lets break this passage down to better understand the how and why of giving in secret.
Giving your money back to the Lord is an act of worship and brings glory to the Lord. Its never about us. Some may whip out their massive checkbook or make sure people can see their wad of cash going into the offering bowl. God hates this and calls these types of acts dirty rags. By giving in secret, we avoid the temptation to show off to others and bring attention to ourselves.
Giving in secret is an unselfish act that puts all the attention on the Lord. Its

Americans are not the only people falling in love with social networking. In the UK, Facebook has taken control of Microsofts 2nd place position of the most popular websites visited, reports MSNBC. Even more surprising is the age group many of these visitors fall under.
Facebook attracted a record 26.8 million visitors in Britain in May, up 7 percent year on year, beating the 26.2 million who visited Microsofts MSN/WindowsLive/Bing sites combined, the organization said on Monday. Google had 33.9 million.
Twitters UK audience jumped by a third to 6.1 million, after thousands of users retweeted allegations of celebrity scandals in defiance of gagging orders, including an extra-marital affair by Manchester United soccer star Ryan Giggs.
The growth in audiences to these social networks is now primarily being driven by the 50-plus age group.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has today elected to lift interest rates from 1.25% to 1.5% the second increase since April.
The move comes to tame rising inflation in the 17-member euro zone and was widely expected by analysts and more rate rises are on the cards.
Inflation in the euro zone currently stands at 2.7% higher than the ECB’s target of just below 2% and is expected to remain above target for the short-term at least.
Many major economies are battling with higher inflation, which is rising due to higher energy, commodity and food prices.
Many central banks across the world have lifted interest rates in a bid to tame inflation and the problem is particularly rife in Asia.
At a press conference, ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said: “We will continue to monitor very closely all developments with respect to upside risks to price stability.
The news comes shortly after the Bank of England opted to keep interest rates at the historic low of 0.5% despite inflation being more than double its 2% target.
The Bank of England has been reluctant to lift rates as the recovery appears to be losing momentum.

Rachel Young has seen both sides of business. She was once homeless, running a business out of her car. She has even experienced the joys of success. Now Rachel believes it is time to share her lessons with fellow female entrepreneurs, and help guide them to their own success, reports KnoxvilleBiz.com.
Ive broken everything that can be broken. Ive been homeless, successful, all points in between, Young says. After nearly 10 years as a serial entrepreneur, she wanted more than a networking meeting to exchange business cards with other entrepreneurs.
