- Joyful Generosity If you have trouble fitting the words cheerful and giver into the same sentence, this is a valuable article for you to read. Chuck Swindoll gives four suggestions on how we can add joy to our giving and join the ranks of those believers who regularly and willingly give sacrificially of their time and financial resources.
- Ragged-Edge Faith and Reckless Generosity Chuck Swindoll reflects on the strong faith of his older brother, Orville, and on Orville’s ability to trust in Jesus to meet the needs of his family. We live in a materialistic society, where our security seems to come from what we own and have stashed away. Chuck suggests that whether we have abundance or are seeing lean times, our security must come only from God and His promise to provide for all of our needs. Only then can we be truly generous.
- Strengthening Your Grip on Money
- The Gift for the Person Who Has Everything Christians should naturally be known for their selfless acts of service and compassion to others but, as Chuck Swindoll points out, believers can get just as caught up in the distractions of our material world as anyone else. The list of suggested ways to give of yourself to others is a refreshing reminder of what really ministers to people and of what exhibits God’s supernatural love in ways that are becoming increasingly rare.
- The Joys of Generosity In this article, Chuck Swindoll makes a strong correlation between godly contentment and joyful generosity. He describes four benefits that will result for a person who can remember that God is the author of divine resources and gives generous gifts to His children.
- The Three-Second Pause
- Tightwads Using a rather extreme example, Chuck Swindoll illustrates the pointlessness of being stingy with our wealth and possessions in this life. He asserts that whoever is reluctant to part with some of his or her assets is also one who doesn’t dare to dream big dreams or attempt great things for God. This article challenges us to evaluate our generosity and our vision of what God can accomplish through our faith.
