Giving
For most of us, the concept of "financial generosity" conjures mathematical images - percentages, dollar amounts, budget balancing. Yet Scripture calls the people of God to a grander view of giving that embodies all the Gospel represents - staggering grace, overwhelming blessing, undeserved abundance. 2 Corinthians 8:9 tells us that although he was rich, Jesus became poor so that by his poverty we might become rich ourselves. Images of riches and poverty challenge our checkbook-size concept of financial generosity. They lead us to ask, Is our giving merely generous? Or is it Gospel-shaped?
