The Antioch Plan of Giving

How they raised money at Antioch for the suffering Christians of Jerusalem, affords a beautiful illustration of simplicity of giving. It would be well for Christian churches of to-day if the Antioch plan were made the standard, to be closely and undeviatingly followed. We do not read of a fair, or festival, or even a popular course of lectures. “Every man according to his ability, determined to send relief.” That is the whole story as to the method. “Which also they did, and sent it,” completes the record. Many a church would be saved from spiritual declension, not to say absolute poverty, by adhering to the Antioch plan.—Baptist Teacher.
