One pastor’s exhortation to his people – Tip Well, Don’t Be Cheap

Great 2 minute by Mark Driscoll on generous tipping by his church members.  My wife taught me how to tip generously and I think it has been one of the greatest examples  for my kids.  I love to give $50 or $100 every so often on a $30 meal…..it feels so good!

Andy Stanley sermon on money and your heart

Do you want to know where Andy’s heart is?  Don’t look at how many passages he’s underlined in the Bible or how he leads a successful church.  Rather look at Andy’s checkbook, his Visa statement or Quicken.   That’s how God measures it according to Matthew 6: 21.  This is the first talk from Balanced, a recent 6 week series at Northpoint.

This is brutal.  Made me want to 1) take action 2) quit feeling sorry for myself 3) give more and more.
