TITLE: The Heart of Generosity

A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. “Look after him,” he said, “and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.” 

Luke 10:30-36 NIV

• What’s Thine is Mine…I will take it.
• What’s Mine is Mine… I will keep it.
• What’s Mine is Thine…I will give it.
• What’s Thine is Thine… I will steward it.

Colossians 1:16 NIV

“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare…If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.” by C.S. Lewis
