Throughout the centuries of God's relationship with His people, one of the things He consistently challenged them with was their generosity...or their lack of it! God has always wanted His people to have a heart for giving, not just their time and attention, but also their finances and possessions. Why does it matter to the God (who doesn't need my money) whether or not I'm generous with my money? And what does it look like to have a heart that's devoted to giving?
We all have certain things that inspire us or get us excited, things that we don’t mind devoting lots of time, energy, and maybe even finances towards. We often describe this enthusiasm for a certain thing as something we “have a heart for.” At Flagstone we’re starting off the new year by giving ourselves a “heart check.” We’re taking an honest look at the things we are most devoted to and checking to see if we have a heart for the things our God is passionate about.
