How to Cultivate Generosity | | Contrary to what lot of people think, most pastors hate talking about money. Do another sermon on giving? They’re rather swallow a fork. Yet giving is essential, not only for the mission of the church but for the hearts of church members. The key is to motivate biblically. I thought Jay Kim put it well in his recent article, where he wrote that “pastors and church leaders must begin with a firm conviction that generosity is the path to freedom.” When pastors encourage parishioners to be generous, it’s not just to fund the church; they’re doing it for their souls. Read the Kim’s article, Generosity Is Freedom. Also, check out our resource on Developing a Culture of Stewardship. This 25-page resource is designed to help you address the spiritual implications of money and create a church culture that values joyful, sacrificial giving. |
