Sunday, June 17th LinkedIn News Feed Reported: \u201cAmericans were especially charitable in 2017. Buoyed by a strong economy, donations to charities hit record highs last year, Fast Company reports. Americans gave a total of $410 billion, with religious groups taking the lion\u2019s share ($127 billion) followed by education and human services groups. <\/span><\/p>\n

The increased giving may soon hit a speed bump, though. The tax reform package passed in December 2017 raises the standard deduction, reducing the appeal of tax-deductible donations for many Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pastor Cyndi Higgins, RAB Founder and International Director\u2019s response to these predictions of slower giving: \u201cLikely, the speed bump being suggested will not slow down Christians\u2019 financial gift-giving, but only those who give to receive something from the government! <\/span><\/p>\n

The truth, however is this, most Americans do not give for a \u2018tax credit.\u2019 Most givers give generously because it is in their GNA\u2014Godly Natural Attributes!<\/p>\n

God is the biggest giver and none can out give Him! \u201c He so loves the world (the people of it) that He gave His Only Begotten Son\u2014whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Christians\u2019 generosity far exceeds just giving for religious purposes and way beyond tithes. God puts \u201cdesires of justice\u201d in our hearts that inspires us to give to a variety of causes. <\/span><\/p>\n

We are made in our Creator\u2019s image so we will not stop giving as long as our God remains the same!<\/p>\n
