Summary
Become the smartest money manager on the planet. Join Chip for his series, “The Genius of Generosity.”
Four reasons it’s genius to be generous:
1. Generosity CHANGES our lives. -Acts 20:35; Pr. 11:25
2. Generosity CONNECTS us with others.
3. Generosity helps us INVEST in what matters. -Mt. 6:19-24
4. Generosity FREES our hearts.
Question: If generosity is so smart, why isn’t everyone doing it?
- WEALTH is powerful and deceptive. -Mt. 13:22
- The lure of MAMMON worship. -Mt. 6:24
- It demands FAITH. -Mt. 6:19
- Temporal myopia. -Mt. 6:23
Breakthrough Concept #1: Generosity is the gateway to intimacy with God.
Three questions brilliant people ask
1. Am I using the money entrusted to me in accordance with the OWNER’S wishes?
2. Am I carefully keeping account of where all the OWNER’S funds are going?
3. Am I becoming “best friends” with the “OWNER” by the privilege and opportunity of managing His resources?
