Biblical Generosity: How it’s different from philanthropy with Jamie Kuiper

In Luke 6, Jesus says, “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” True biblical generosity abounds in blessing much more than just giving to a cause. Host Rob West welcomes Jamie Kuiper of the National Christian Foundation to talk about giving according to Scripture. Then it’s your calls at 800-525-7000.

There are more than 2300 verses in the Bible that reference the concept of giving, money, and possessions. Twice as many as any other subject. The reason is because giving is not just a financial transaction.

It’s a spiritual practice that has the power to help you flourish in the life God intends for you. That’s a very different concept than philanthropy which is about sending money to causes, which is great and has a lot of benefits in the world.

When your giving is rooted in Scripture, is that it has the transformative power to heal, inspire, and bring you closer to God’s purposes for your life.
