Christians should be the most generous people on the planet. As individuals, we should show generosity to our families, to our church, and even the city of Denver and beyond. Why? Because God is looking for people who are humble, for a church that is unified in heart and in its mission for Jesus. We obviously can’t give money to everyone in need, but we can support ministry and honor God through tithing. God wants to bless you; He really does! But He’s after your heart first. And this is so important that it’s THE ONLY thing he actually encourages us to test Him in! Malachi 3:10 tells us that God will throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out blessings when we are faithful to what He has asked us to do. He cares about your heart more than the amount of money you use to show your generosity, but generosity WILL be the result of having a pure heart.
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes other will be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25
