Matt5:13, Mark 10:43-45, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2. Think about what you spend your money and resources on. What does it say about your heart?

August 21 Give generously Proverbs 11:23-29 Use what you have to invest in the lives of others. Matthew 6:19-23, 33-34.

August 28 Love gets involved. Luke 10:25-37 Random acts of kindness are great but God calls to a higher standard. Matthew 22:34-40
