Understanding English Grammar: Difference Between 'Awhile' and 'A While'
Few word pairs capture the idiosyncrasies of the English language as effectively as a while and awhile.
Both of these terms are expressions of time, and both have been in use
for over a century, but one is written with a space while the other is
one word. What are the differences in meaning between the two? And what
are the appropriate uses of each?
The noun phrase a while can and often does follow a preposition, such as for or in: “He said he would be home in a while.” The adverb awhile cannot follow a preposition, a rule that makes sense if you revisit the definition of the term and drop it into a sentence such as the one above: “He said he would be home in for a short time or period.” However, if we omit the preposition and rewrite it as “He said he would be home awhile,” the sentence works with a slightly altered meaning.
The base word in both of these expressions, while, is perhaps most commonly used as a conjunction, meaning “during,” “although,” or “throughout the time that,” as in “She ate the cookie dough while he greased the baking sheet.” These senses are separate from the noun and adverbial senses discussed above. While can also be used as a verb meaning “to cause (time) to pass, especially in some easy or pleasant manner,” as in “She whiled away the hours ruminating on the differences between awhile and a while.”
Assessment
1. Make any three correct sentences with the phrase, ' a while'
2. Make any two correct sentences with the adverb, 'while'
Each question carries two marks

Ten Principles of Christian Giving
In our review of these four New Testament passages, we find at least ten principles for Christian giving.
- The Lord Jesus expects and requires us to give. Jesus said to His disciples, “when you give” not “if you
give” (Matthew 6:2)! Hence, Christian giving is not optional, but
rather essential. We often hear folks say: “in the Old Testament they had to
give, but not in the New -- now we only give if we want to.” This is
clearly not Jesus’ teaching. He expected all His followers to be givers.
Christians will give. Are you giving?
- The Lord Jesus wants us to give for the right reasons.
Jesus warned His disciples not to give for the sake of being admired by
men. “Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed
by them,” He said (Matthew 6:1). When we give, we must be careful to
examine our motives. We ought to give for the glory of God and the good
of His people. We must desire His approval of our giving, rather than
the praise and admiration of people. Are you giving for God’s praise or man’s?
- The Lord Jesus wants us to practice benevolent or charitable giving. Jesus
said “When you give to the poor . . . .” (Matthew 6:2,3). Jesus is
specifically teaching about “alms” in this passage: aid, charity, or
benevolent offerings for the needy. Do you give amply enough to the Church that she can be generous in benevolent giving?
- The Lord Jesus reminds us that our giving is ultimately to the all-seeing heavenly Father. Jesus said “When you give . . . ; your Father who sees what is done
in secret will reward you” (Matthew 6:3-4). When we give, we are not
simply adding to the Church budget, we are giving up a thank offering to
the Father Himself. Thus, we must all give “as unto the Lord.” Our
ultimate goal in giving is to please Him. Are you conscious of the fact that your giving is to the Lord and seen by the Lord?
- The Bible teaches that Christian giving is an act of worship. In
connection with the previous point, we see this truth stressed in
another way in Paul’s word’s “On the first day of every week each one of
you is to put aside and save” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Paul here teaches
the Corinthians that their taking up of the collection is an act of
worship which is to be a part of their regular Lord’s Day worship. When
we put our money in the plate, we are worshiping Almighty God in
accordance with His Word. Note well, Paul is speaking here of a
“collection for the saints” – this is giving by the Church to the
Church for the Church. Did you realize that giving is a part of
worship? Is your worship in this area abundant or inhibited? Is giving
to the Church a priority with you?
- The Bible teaches that Christian giving should be done in light of the incarnation. Many
Christians argue about whether the tithe (10% of our income) is still
the standard for our giving to the Church (disputants usually want to
show that less than 10% is fine). Paul scuttles the whole debate in one
verse. He says: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you
through His poverty might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Christ’s
self-giving is now the standard for our giving! We begin from the base
of the tithe and aim for emulation of His self-sacrifice. Our giving is
to be inspired and instructed by Christ’s inexpressible gift. In light
of such a challenge, who could possibly satisfy himself with asking “how
little a percentage is acceptable for me to give?” Do you try to get by with giving as little as possible to the Lord, or do you give in view of the Lord’s costly sacrifice?
- The Bible teaches that Christian giving should be done in accordance with our means. Paul is quite clear on this: “For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person
has, not according to what he does not have” (2 Corinthians 8:12). Put
another way Paul is saying that you should give in proportion to what
God has given you. He said it this way in 1 Corinthians 16:2, “each one
of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper.” This means
at least two things: (1) since we are all supposed to give
proportionately, those who have more money are expected to give more [we
who are particularly blessed materially must remember this], and (2)
the Lord never asks us to give what we do not have, or contribute beyond
our means. Are you really giving in proportion to the material blessings that the Lord has given you?
- The Bible teaches that the liberality of God’s blessings to us is connected to the liberality of our Christian giving. Though
it may seem strange, both Jesus and Paul emphasize that there is a
relation between our giving to the Lord and the Lord’s giving to us. As
Paul says in 2 Corinthians 9:6 “Now this I say, he who sows
sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will
also reap bountifully.” About this matter J.A. Beet once said: “They who
in giving think, not how little they can give, as they would if
self-enrichment were the aim, but of benefits to be conferred, will
receive back on the same principle. As they do to others, so God will
act to them.” Jesus reminds us of this in Matthew 6:4, where He teaches
that our reward in giving comes from our heavenly Father. As someone
once said: “The desire to be generous and the means to be generous both
come from God.” Do you realize that the Lord has given you much, so that you can give much?
- The Bible teaches that Christian giving must be willing giving, free giving. We learn this in 2 Corinthians 9:7 “Each one must do
just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under
compulsion.” But doesn’t this contradict what we learned under the first
principle, that Christian giving is not optional? The answer
is, of course, no. True Christian giving is both mandatory and
voluntary. It is required by God, but always willingly given by the
believer. Is your giving to the Church something you do wholeheartedly, or indifferently, or grudgingly?
- The Bible teaches that Christian giving ought to be cheerful giving. As Paul says “God loves a cheerful giver.” This is a truly amazing assertion. Paul assures us here that the Lord takes a special delight in those who are joyful, energetic, merry givers. Is there joy in your heart as you give? Can you truly be characterized as a “cheerful giver?”
