OF GIVING

Topics: Christian Culture; Giving; Money

References: Matthew 6:19–24; 16:24

When we give money, we are releasing a little more of our egocentric selves and a little more of our false security.…

Giving frees us to care. It produces an air of expectancy as we anticipate what God will lead us to give. It makes life with God an adventure of discovery. We are being used to help make a difference in the world, and that is worth living for and giving for.

—Richard J. Foster, Money, Sex and Power (Harper, 1985)
