No-strings-attached
generosity was the hallmark of the first-century church. It should be a
hallmark of the twenty-first-century church too. The apostle Paul told
Timothy, "Command those who are
rich in this present world . . . to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to
be generous and willing to share." So let’s be Rich.
The
questions we need to ask ourselves is What do I have? What do I have that God
has given me to provide for my family? What has God given me that I need to use
to serve God in the ministry He has called me into? What has God given me that
He plans for me to use to further His Kingdom? Paul’s admonition to Timothy was
to instruct people who have been given much to give much. The next step for
each of us will be very different. Not all gifts will be equal in amount but
they should be equal in sacrifice. Let’s do more and give more than ever
before.
Today
each of us pray and ask God what He has planned for us to give out of
generosity for what He has given us.
