Generosity As a Test of The Heart
We want to call our church to give where our real hope lies. We couldn't say it any better than Tim Keller:
"Jesus said that your treasure goes where your heart is (Matthew 6:21) You always give most effortlessly to that which is your real salvation, your hope, your meaning in life. If Jesus is the one who saves you, your money flows out easily into his work and the lives of people. If your real hope is in your appearance, status, or comfort, your money will flow more easily into those items and symbols, and giving anything away anything substantial will seem difficult. Generosity is a test of the heart."
