The Genesis Project

You ever catch yourself staring? Looking around at everyone else's life, thinking "Must be nice..." Envy, Proverbs says, does terrible things to our inner lives.

Have you ever met someone whose responses to feedback, correction, and direction were defensiveness, anger, and challenge? Have you ever been that person?

Sometimes being out of control feels really good. But it's almost always momentary, and it ignores the aftermath.

Better. It's the life we're aiming for. And better decisions better our lives. Which begs the question: What is the source for the decisions your making? What's your "wisdom well"?

At its core, the scandalous message of Christmas is that God took on flesh to dwell with the ordinary.

Peace on earth? Goodwill to men? They are the perfect holiday greetings, but why do we celebrate a holiday that began with an announcement that doesn't seem to have any similarity with reality?

A series on generosity and gratitude just wouldn't be complete without saying "THANK YOU!" to the volunteers who give their time, talent, and treasure to make The Genesis Project what it is!

Being generous feels wonderful, until it doesn't. How do we deal with the practical reality that sometimes generosity is sacrificial? Or that we don't exactly feel "grateful" for the opportunity to be generous because it hurts?

We live in the wealthiest nation, in the wealthiest generation of all time...and sometimes, we just need to remember that!

Who are you giving thanks for in this season of your life? And, who is giving thanks for you in this season of life? Generous people generate thanksgiving!
