GENEROUS HEART
Imagine living as generously toward others as you'd like to do. What keeps you from living your dream?
We say, "If I just had more money (or energy, or time), I'd be more generous." What if generosity is not just a matter of resources, but a matter of creating capacity and clarifying your core values? What if you could be as generous as you want to be?
Contented Heart (Brett Andrews & Tim Jones)
Ever think, "Someday I'll be more generous"? What keeps "someday" from being today?
Jesus taught that generosity is not just a game for special people who are lucky enough to have plenty of stuff. Generosity is a game everyone gets to play.
Step one? Discover inner contentment.
Debtor's Heart (Stan Rodda & Dwaine Darrah)
Got debt?
You're in good company.
Ask most people why they're not more generous, they'll tell you, "I'm knee deep in debt."
Jesus came to "set captives free." Nothing holds most Americans more in bondage than debt. Great news: Jesus sets captives free.
Trusting Heart (Brett Andrews, Tim Jones & Dwaine Darrah)
“Someday, I will be more generous. Someday, when I have more time, more energy, more knowledge, and more disposable income, that’s when I’ll start to really give.”
John Wooden used to teach his UCLA players that success is the place where preparation meets opportunity. He’d say, “You can’t practice one way, then flip a switch and elevate your game.”
Everyone wants to be generous. Generous people don’t wait to flip the switch on “someday”. Generous living how we live each day, trusting God for the resources and the results.
Giving Heart (Tim Jones & Stan Rodda)
Who are the happiest people you know: The misers or the givers? The fearful protectors of time, treasure, and talents, or the open-handed sharers?
Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” We suspect Jesus was clued into something we easily miss.
