With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Giving Tuesdays an opportunity to reflect on generosity, though an overwhelming majority

of evangelicals believe typing 10% is a biblical command, the average evangelical only gives

4% of their income on a yearly basis.

And even that number is probably distorted by a few high end donors, as great matter

research discovered.

So about half of American evangelicals give less than 1% to churches or charity.

This means there are so many Christians who have never experienced the joy and flourishing

of generosity.

Jesus wasn't kidding when he said that where your treasure is, that's where your heart

will be.

Consumerism is, for many of us, a shallow form of replacement worship.

By contrast, generosity reflects God, who generously created the world and in Christ generously

gave himself for us.

When we give, we reflect him.

So please, on this Giving Tuesday, give.
