Because we think of generosity, we usually think about our money, which confession, and hopefully

we get into this later, we are generally not as generous as we like to think ourselves

to be even with that. But to your point, to make a broadened state here, which is we can be

generous in all things. And I would summarize it by three things. Our time, our talent, and our treasure.

How'd you know? I read your mind.

How do you know?

We're always finishing each other's sardines.

How we spend our time.

You know, do we spend our time more in community rather than in consumption?

Do I spend more time scrolling YouTube, watching YouTube, scrolling, you know, social media,

etc., etc., or do I spend time in community at my church in fellowship with friends?

So our time and our talent and our treasure, these are ways in which the Lord calls us

to be generous.

I would just add one other thing, which is be generous with grace.

Good. To be generous with grace. Someone wrongs you. Think graciously upon them. Somebody

sends you an email or says something to you that comes off as rude. Think graciously before

responding quickly. To be gracious to others is to treat them the way you hope and desire

and have in the Lord. A mistake we make as believers is we don't often trace virtues back to the

character of God. Right.

You know, one of the things that we'll often do is when we talk about sin and we talk about

the commandments, you know, you shall not commit adultery because God is not unfaithful.

You know, you shall not steal because God is not a thief, right?
