Finished reading Andy Stanley's book entitled, "Fields of Gold." It was about giving and recognizing God as owner of all and seeing ourselves as stewards. Basic stewardship and generosity book, but great logic and good examples to make it approachable for a lot of people.

I love to give and after reading this book I want to find more ways to up our generosity and maximize our stewardship.

Imagine if every person lived a life of generosity... Wow - would we need government programs? Would we need financial aid? Would we all need a lawn mower of our own? I am convinced that this life of generosity is just not possible in a long lasting, life altering and authentic way apart from Jesus and the power of the gospel.

Only Christ has the resource to have us live differently. Everything else is nice ideals based in other belief systems that I don't think have the power for the peculiar life of a Christ follower.

As Bill Hybels says, "Here I stand."
