In the late 1990s, Larry Robinson served in his local church as a deacon, budget chairperson, and teacher. In those roles, he was exposed to both the questions and misunderstandings many Christians have regarding offertory giving. During that time, his personal Bible study repeatedly revealed relevant biblical principles that seemed to speak to those concerns. He sensed that the insights received were not for his benefit alone. Larry shares his observations in an effort to help other Christians explore God's will for our giving.
He develops and offers educational resources on this topic through More Than The Gift Ministries. Larry's gift of teaching is evident in his ability to clarify messages of Scripture in a way that both stimulates the mind and inspires the heart.

Larry is married to the love of his life, Sharon, and is the proud father of four sons. Born in Chicago, he is an unapologetic Bears and Bulls fan as well as a suffering Cubs fan. In addition to writing and sports, Larry enjoys teaching, singing contemporary gospel, photography and vacationing in quiet places with his family. Over the years, he discovered that most of his favorite foods are on both his wife's and physician's prohibitive "hit lists," but every once in a while he still finds occasion to enjoy a few slices of a good sweet potato pie. Larry and his family currently reside in Winfield, Illinois.
About More than the Gift
Each week, tens of millions of Christians around the world give offerings during the worship services they attend. Each week, millions of us give without considering the reasons why God has asked us to give and what purposes He has in mind. Each week, ritual precedes relationship in the giving of too many of us. However, this week need not be like each week because God is inviting us to deepen our understanding of His purposes and plans for our giving. More Than The Gift was written for those willing to answer that invitation.
