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]

Remember! Part 1 (Titus 3:3–4)
