Let me ask you a question, if God didn't even take into account anything to do with money,

how generous are you from his perspective?

Are there other ways that he measures generosity that might be even way more

important than money? And let me give you a hint. The answer is yes. The answer is yes. Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

The mission of these daily programs is to intentionally disciple Christians

through the Bible teaching of Chip Ingram.

Thanks for joining us today as we near the end of our series,

The Genius of Generosity.

For these last two programs, Chipp will explain how generosity is measured in God's eyes

and unpack the steps we can take to be intentionally generous, beyond empty words and good intentions.

But before we get going, if this is your first time listening to living on the

edge or you want to learn more about what we do, go to living on the Edge.org.

You'll find resources on tons of topics and countless programs to enjoy.

Or if you prefer, the Chippingram app is also a great way to get plugged in with our ministry.

Well, here now is Chip with his talk.

So how does God measure generosity?

Well, Jesus has a way of taking what we believe and what we think and how we evaluate and literally

turning it upside down.

And the way he does that is to bring life and is to bring freedom, but we just get used to seeing things and evaluating things in

ways that are very very subtle but lead us down past that ruin relationships

that hurt people in In fact, the word miser comes from the root word for

miserable. Myzerly, non-generous people are miserable.
