Congregation, parish and diocesan generosity


Last week I wrote about gospel generosity and the need to pray for and display gospel generosity in giving up resources from our congregation to other ministries.

Generosity is always a gospel issue and an issue of the heart. By the grace of God, through the power of His Spirit, God makes us willing to seek the good of others at cost to ourselves. That said, generosity seldom comes naturally and so we need to think of ways to entrench generosity in the way we relate to others. To read more, click here.
