STOP AND THINK – Afraid to live generously? The thing to be afraid of isn’t generosity. The thing to fear is refusing to be generous. (Mike Lee, American pastor)
Economic hard times often affect donations to churches and charities and a willingness to help the poor and struggling. Is it selfishness or good stewardship that causes us to hold back on our charitable giving? Actually, the generous people are the ones who are doubly blessed. While blessing others to whom they give, they reap the benefit of generous living.
Just as you excel in everything . . . see that you also excel in the grace of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:7)
