Whether in a society, an organization, a business, a team, a church, or a family…CONSUMERS DO NOT BUILD OR LEAD ANYTHING.
A CONSUMER cannot be depended on as a foundation for anything. By definition, they will only consume, take, and receive for their own benefit and when they no longer find personal benefit, they move on to consume elsewhere.
A society is built by CONTRIBUTORS and plundered by CONSUMERS. CONTRIBUTORS are the foundation of any society, organization, business, team, church, or family. CONTRIBUTORS invest through radical generosity of their time, their talents, and their treasures (their possessions and money).
I’m extremely grateful for the sacrificial generosity of those who have contributed to my family, my church, and my society. I’m grateful for the examples God has placed in my life to teach me to pay that same generosity forward.
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. ~Hebrews 13:16
Minimizing me...making much of Jesus
