Generosity makes the world a better place. It improves the life of the receiver and enhances the life of the giver. Yet somehow, generosity remains far too uncommon in our world today. Instead, our culture craves and pursues more at every turn. We seek happiness by directing most of our resources towards our own pursuits: security, possessions, experiences, pleasure, and luxury. There’s something underneath the surface of our lives that drives our behavior, something that causes us to cling tighter to things that won’t ultimately satisfy. With this backdrop in mind, the Bible calls us to a counter-culture way of living, a kind of living that only emerges when we adopt a radically new perspective.
