Extravagant Generosity
|
"You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity." (2 Corinthians 9:11)
"Extravagant Generosity describes practices of sharing and giving that exceed all expectations and extend to unexpected measures. It describes lavish sharing, sacrifice, and giving in service to God and neighbor. Vibrant, fruitful, growing congregations thrive because of the extraordinary sharing, willing sacrifice, and joyous giving of their members out of love for God and neighbor. Such churches...(focus) on the abundance of God's grace and that emphasizes the Christian's need to give rather than on the church's need for money....They view giving as a gift from God and are driven to be generous by a high sense of mission and a keen desire to please God by making a positive difference in the world." - Robert Schnase, Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations |
