Loving God with our wealth

1) Things to pray for:

- that we would be cheerful givers and increasingly enjoy/get a kick out of giving;
- that we would be freed from legalism/guilt re: percentages, and instead focus on cheerfulness and generosity (cf. 2 Cor 9:1ff);
- that our sinful desires to make excuses for not being generous would be repressed;
- that we could be really creative in thinking about how to give with our money;
- that we would have the ri ght mixture of wisdom and courage in managing our money.

2) Things to do:

- car-pool with someone who doesn’t own a car;
- have a ‘luxury tax’ in your household for a month (i.e., think of all the luxuries you normally have, e.g., coffees, etc, and for one month put the money you would have spent on them in a jar and give the proceeds to charity);
- start a food co-op with friends and give away the money you save;
- give half of your government recession payment away.
