Grace does not just forgive us.
Grace trains us.
So we ask honestly: How does this battle show up for me?
Numbing?
Control?
Power?
Anger?
Disregard?
Something else?

Our goal here at Cold Springs Church is transparency. We operate solely on the generosity of those who call Cold Springs home and give regularly to support the mission and vision we are committed to carrying out. God invites us to worship Him in all areas of our lives, including the way we spend our money. Because it is an act of worship, God is more interested in the shape of our heart than the size of our gift.
