Intentional Giving

Every day we make decisions about money but not every decision is made with intention When it comes to generosity many of us wrestle with the same questions Where should we give How much should we give And does our giving really make a difference With so many worthy causes competing for our attention generosity can easily become reactive rather than intentional Yet Scripture invites us to see giving as something much greater than another financial habit Intentional generosity is an act of discipleship that connects our resources to God's work in the world Generosity Is Part of God's Purpose [... more]

Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture it's more More upgrades More comfort More square footage More of whatever promises to make life a little better Yet despite having more than previous generations could have imagined many of us feel less satisfied than ever Why Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next It's cultivated in the heart right where we are And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon It's something we can learn Why More Is Never EnoughWe're all tempted to believe that the next purchase promotion milestone or change in circumstances will finally [... more]

Defined by Christ, Not Wealth

Money can tell you how much you have but it makes a terrible answer to the question Who am I Wealth is a gift to steward but it was never meant to become our identity Yet in a culture that often measures success by income possessions and financial security it's easy to begin defining ourselves by what we have or what we lack Scripture offers a different perspective In fact some of Jesus' most memorable teachings about wealth reveal what happens when possessions become central to a person's identity When Wealth Becomes Your IdentityHave you ever noticed how Scripture describes [... more]
