Ownership vs. Stewardship principle - how do you understand the money that you earn/have?
A man needs to be generous - with their time, talents, and treasure. A mark of a man is that he gives to those in need from what has been given to him.
Giving is the expectation - but not just giving from a concept of scarcity, but from the idea of generosity! What is my motivation in doing what I do?
“Vacation” - what are you doing with “your” time - what if you rethink your time away from work and look to invest it into those in need?
Plan to give a greater percentage of your income every year…
Generosity begets generosity - when people see others who are generous, they want to be a part of it as well!
Keep your eyes open - look for opportunities to give to the needs of others!
The concept of generosity is connected to humility.
Parable of the Rich Young Ruler - Matthew 19:16-22
Going through “challenging” times is helpful with the development of a generous heart.
Being around people who are in a different economic position than you can help you develop a better perspective on giving and generosity.
Generosity isn’t an amount, it’s a heart attitude.
