We will often be judged by surface-level impressions and assumptions, but we must stay focused on our spiritual integrity and refuse to play the comparison game.

Knowing that we will encounter criticism, we must work to always respond more like Christ, enlisting, powerful, and wise resources that God provides us.

Christians who give generously make a far greater impact than they realize—God uses their giving to strengthen their churches and advance the reputation of gospel near and far.

We ought to be motivated to give cheerfully because of the bold promises God makes to generous Christians, especially his revelation that he takes special joy in joyful generosity.

We should pursue a Christian maturity marked by a Christlike, dependable, and increasing generosity.

The giving God calls us to is generous but discerning, and it requires us to handle what has been entrusted to us with great care and integrity.

We should give willingly and proportionately, trusting God to accomplish good through our gifts and to provide for us in the process.

We must choose to practice biblical generosity, motivated by Christ’s gracious example rather than mere agreement with its principles.
