The Discipline of Generosity #2 of 4

August 11, 2010
Money…..a sensitive subject for those believers who’ve adopted the world’s ethic that accumulating wealth is an end in itself. In the race of life, God wants us to discipline ourselves in many ways, not the least of which is to learn to be generous with the funds He has provided. When we do this, these funds will lose their grip on our greedy hearts, and help advance God’s kingdom.

You can tell where a Christian’s values lie by examining his or her giving. One hallmark of a true believer is generosity. It’s a touchy subject, but we’re not afraid to hit the nail on the head as we focus on another of the spiritual disciplines that strengthen us in the race of life. Today we will look at what God wants you to do with the resources He has provided.

As a military man, Joshua knew how to wage war. But as a man of God, he needed quiet time to gain strength for the battle. For Joshua, and for us, meditation in the word of God builds faith. Meditation involves analyzing the scripture, asking three questions: what does it teach me about God, what does it tell me to do, and what promises can I claim?

At times during the race of life, the winds of change swirl, almost blowing us off the track. We need stability. Meditation in the word of God provides that still point in a turning world. Today we discuss teaching from the book of Joshua on how meditation in the word of God can give us inner resources to face whatever comes our way. How still is your heart as you run your race?

Mention “meditation” to some and they envision an Eastern mystic sitting in a lotus position. But real meditation is far different. Running the race of life requires inner strength, strength forged through spiritual disciplines. Today we will explore the second of Dr. Erwin Lutzer’s five Disciplines That Grow Godliness, and hear what God had to say to Joshua about meditation.

A lazy athlete is a losing athlete. Only disciplined athletes win. The same is true for any of us running the race of life. The disciplines that bring us victory include the discipline of worship: putting God in His rightful first place in our hearts, and making everything else a distant second place. Today you will hear several practical ways to make worship the center of your life.

A woman sat near an ancient well, face to face with Jesus. Their discussion turned from physical water to spiritual water, and her journey in the race of life was changed forever as she learned the meaning of true worship. Why it’s vital to worship the God who desires our adoration: the discipline of worship is our focus on today’s broadcast.

The winning athlete is invariably the one who understands discipline, taking the right steps to insure victory.

When you give to support your local church, do you wish you could attach strings to your dollars, and control where they go? Some would rather give to high visibility ministries than to help provide for the general needs of their church. Today, Erwin Lutzer tells why letting God supervise the use of the money we give creates a strong base for the many outreaches that our churches accomplish.

Do you enjoy every chance to put something in the offering plate at church?  Some people find offering time troubling.  They may give, but only grudgingly, or, to not appear cheap in the eyes of others.   What’s your reason to contribute?  The Bible tells us that God loves a cheerful giver.  What kind of giver are you?  What kind am I?  Today, we’ll find out.

Some laws are built into the fabric of creation. One is the law of sowing and reaping, well known to all who plant crops. Sow sparingly, and that is all you will reap. Sow generously, and you will get a larger yield. This principle also applies in giving to God’s work. Today we hear a few lessons on finances from the Apostle Paul to the church in ancient Corinth. These lessons are no less valid now than they were then.
