The Joy of Generosity

In the face of prosperity theology we need to see what God has to say. There are 126 supercultural principles in the New Testmant about a Christian’s use of material possessions.

  • #52 “Each according to his ability” (Acts 11:29)
  • #68 Regularly, systematically, proportionally (1 Corinthians 16:2)
  • #74 Responding immediately (2 Corinthians 8:12)
  • #79 Making faith promises (2 Corinthians 9:5a)
  • #80 Willingly and joyfully (2 Corinthians 9:5b)
  • #71 Being accountable (2 Corinthians 8:6,10,11)
  • #87 Supporting our local church (2 Corinthians 8:18,19)
