Greed and generosity run on a scale, and it seems like greed is getting a lot of air time these days. It is the subtext of many political platforms right now. “If I’m elected, I’ll stick it to those greedy politicians/big businesses/wealthy, etc..” Greed is nothing new in the world, but generosity is the hallmark of God’s people. Make no mistake – generosity does not just happen one day. Some of the most generous men and women I know are generous because they are disciplined, and have learned self-control.
