I think most pastors have seen the law of sowing and reaping at work in the lives of people who make up their church. Most pastors probably have memorized
2 Corinthians 9:6
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
And
Galatians 6:7-9
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
But I wonder if sometimes there’s a disconnect in our preaching of these verses and what our organizations and we personally actually practice. Consider this, if we feel that our churches are not as generous as what we observe in scripture, could it be because as pastors we are not being as generous as we ought with the seed we are sowing.
