Today on Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

If I ask you, do you consider yourself a generous person?

How would you respond? Yes or no? Well, I actually did that

at a shopping mall. It was crazy. And you can't believe what they told me. That's today. Stay with me.

You've been told it's more blessed to give than to receive. But do you actually believe that?

I'm Dave Drewie. And today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram gives us four less to give than to receive. But do you actually believe that?

I'm Dave Drewy, and today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram gives us four counterintuitive

principles about sewing and reaping, and then he takes a personal step to help us further.

He reads his own manifesto out loud, five declarations he has made before God about how he

will handle money, lifestyle,

and giving for the rest of his life.

This is much more than a theory about giving.

It's a personal financial reckoning that Chip hopes will become yours too.

Now here's Chip Ingram with his message titled, My Generosity Manifesto.

Generosity is the way to stop the greed in my heart and yours,

and it's how God begins to grow and cultivate transformation.

Now, let me show you the principles.

Principle number one, we reap where we sow.

Second principle is that we reap how much we sow.

The third principle, and this is the one, at least for me, was like, oh, wow, do I really believe this or not?

Kingdom sowing is counterintuitive.

Notice the wisest man in the world in Proverbs 3, verse 9 and 10.
