Storyline: Live The Journey

God's Generosity To Us

Todd Harper

For many of us giving is a regular part of our lives, especially during the holiday season.  Whether in our year-end giving or exchanging gifts with family and friends, we regularly give and receive this time of year.  God was the first giver and the architect of generosity.  In this edition of Storyline we’ll explore the reality of God’s generosity toward us and our response to His lavish grace.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." - Ephesians 2:8





Generous Giving is a privately-funded nonprofit organization that does not solicit funds or award grants. We aim to spread the biblical message of generosity in order to grow generous givers among those entrusted with much. Through Storyline, we encourage you to start, grow or share your giving journey.

Financial Independence by Todd Harper

Financial Independence seems to be the unchallenged goal of every affluent American. Somehow I, as a Christ follower, have adopted this cultural value as my own.
