SUMMER OF GENEROSITY: Living Generously. If our money talked about us, what would it say? Would it speak of our love for others, or our greed? Our money is our best character witness because it knows what we truly want and who we truly serve. Throughout the Bible, especially the Old Testament, God battled against idols that constantly deceived and pulled the love of his people away. We cannot serve two masters. God only needs to look at our spending, our giving, or our savings to know the condition of our hearts.
