When You Give: A New Testament Look at Generosity for the Christian Family - Hardcover

by Tim Howington (Author), Chris Haas (Author)

If you are just looking for the highlights of our study, here you go! Generosity in its simplest form is giving. Giving of your time, talent and treasure towards something or someone you value. Kingdom Generosity is a big, big deal. What is at stake here? The financial integrity of the greatest endeavor that man has ever participated in... the expansion of the Kingdom of God! When Jesus came, He preached and said, "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). As He ascended back to heaven, He gave His disciples a mandate to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth and to make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:18-20). We call that mandate the Great Commission. The Christian family has a responsibility to fulfill this mandate in our generation. This will take time, talent, and treasure. Two of the biggest challenges to the Great Commission are 1) Christians willing to spread His Word 2) Christians willing to give to His work. In this book, we are writing about how to fund the mission. It is time to transition our thinking from the organizations financed to the primary funder- the Christian family. The financial health and vision of the Christian family is critical for reaching the world for Christ in this generation and in your children's generation and your grandchildren's generation, too.
