Quotes
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back” — Luke 6:38 NRSV
“When we are generous, we find joy. And just as we were made to practice generosity together, in community, God also means for it to be a part of the daily rhythm of our lives. It was Winston Churchill who famously said, ‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.’” Adam Hamilton in The Walk
