BOLD Generosity

Choosing to give generously, to give until it truly costs us something, is a spiritual practice we often reserve for mature believers. But Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus demonstrates that generosity is a natural response to Jesus' good news. When we truly encounter Jesus, giving ought to be a basic, initial response. If we have difficulty with choosing to be generous, we should ask ourselves: what did Zacchaeus see in Jesus that I don't?

Most of us don’t connect new technologies to our faith. After all, Jesus never had a Facebook profile. He didn’t post on Instagram or even have a smartphone. No wonder we struggle to imagine the Bible has anything to say about this Brave New World we live in. But we can think theologically about the technology in our lives. We can learn not a new set of rules (How many episodes per day is too many when I’m binge-watching? How old should my kids be before they get smartphones?), but rather how to ask the right questions. Do our technologies help us bring about God’s surprising, mustard seed kingdom here on Earth as it is in Heaven?
