One of the main goals at a church gathering is, "How cheap can we feed people?"
This has always rubbed me wrong. And as the pastor, I get to make the final decision. So, I defy the penny pinchers and require quality food to be served.
It seems like good stewardship to save money. But saving money has nothing to do with it.
Just read the parable of the talents. You'll find out that saving was never the goal.
Multiplication is the goal!
In Isaiah 55, we get God's permission to eat quality food, included with a rebuke for eating cheap food.
If you want to walk in God's blessing, then you have to think like He thinks. Quit trying to figure out how cheap you can eat, and instead ask yourself, "What food will satisfy my body so I always have the energy to multiply?"
