Resources by Topic: Money and Giving

This article is a great reminder that gratitude is key to living a generous life. May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving, celebrating all Jesus has done for us!

The process of discovering God’s countercultural will about money and possessions can both excite and liberate. For my late wife, Nanci, and me, our growth in financial stewardship paralleled our spiritual growth. In fact, it propelled it.

When it comes to money and possessions, the Bible is sometimes redundant, often extreme, and occasionally shocking. It turns many readers away, making it a hard sell in today’s marketplace. It interferes with our lives and commits the unpardonable sin—it makes us feel guilty.

Randy writes, “God’s goal is that your life would be lived by the grace of Jesus.” When we are so captured by that grace, it’s not a chore or burden to give–it’s pure joy. 

People normally give to ministries with the intention that the money would be used to help people, educate people, or do whatever the ministry does, and in a reasonably short period of time.
