Year End Giving or Anytime Giving

I know that we teach giving our resources to the local church as a very worshipful reaction to the Gospel, and that is very true.  God gave His only son and Jesus willingly gave up His life, so that makes us great givers as the Gospel presses in.  However, that does not mean we have to park our brains as we worship.  If you have invested some of God's money in the stock market, this has been a very good year.  Most mutual funds and stocks have done very well, so I want to make you aware of a double tax break if you donate the stock and not cash to your local church.  You get to write the entire amount of your donation off AND you do not have to pay the 15% capital gains tax that is applied to the profits of the investment.  If this sounds attractive to you as you give so that God may be worshiped and His mission of Gospel declaration can go out, you have about 24 hours to call your broker to get it in on 2013.

But, if not, you know have knowledge for 2014.......

Glory to the King!
