Where in the Bible do you find answers to questions about what Christians should do with their giving?

Les explains that people call asking what they are supposed to do, and these chapters answer those questions from the Word. He focuses on II Corinthians chapter 8, where Paul admonishes the Corinthians to get their offerings in order. To show what prompted Paul to encourage Gentiles to bring offerings, Les directs us back to Galatians chapter 2, the Jerusalem Council around 51 or 52 A.D. There Peter, James, John, and the Jerusalem congregation had called Paul up to settle whether Gentiles could be saved without keeping the Law or practicing circumcision. Les notes early churches met in homes, lacked full paid pastors and building complexes with maintenance or loans, so their economy was limited, yet Paul still admonished them to give.
