Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
1 Timothy 6: 18 and 19
This is really
important.
One of my core beliefs is that generosity is a key to taking
hold of the life that is truly life. It
happens because when we are generous
We become imitators of God (THE most generous Being in the
universe)
We store up treasures in heaven and then
We take hold of the life that is truly life.
Sadly, a lot of us struggle to be generous. I shared in last week’s eBlast that 62% of those
who make contributions to Mountaintop give, on average, less than $5 each
week. That suggests that a lot of us are
missing out on becoming imitators of God, building a firm foundation and taking
hold of true life.
I’m convinced that it’s not because we are stingy or greedy
– most everyone wants to be generous.
The problem is no one ever showed us a better way to manage our money
and now we are in a mess.
This is really
important – on August 24 I want to share with you a better way.
On August 24th
I hope you will join me for a Journey

your finances. It will be a day filled with Biblical teaching on how to apply
