Remember the words of the Lord Jesus when He said,

it is more blessed to give than it is to receive.

The Bible says, in humility value others above yourself.

But Pastor Greg Laurie says, our culture is out of step with that principle.

We live in a time where everyone has so much expectation.

They expect everything to revolve around them.

Everyone dequeed her to them.

And the Bible teaches the opposite.

If you want to be a happy person, think of others before yourself.

This is the day when the lost are found.

This is the day for a moment again.

Always in grace, ever we just know.

But can you hear the only angel from the sea?

This is the day when life begins.

Wouldn't it be a remarkable world if everyone tried to out-give one another?

If we saw someone in need, we automatically took care of it.

We were always looking for ways to help.

But we don't live in a culture of givers.

It seems like we live in a culture of takers.
