You think how precious givers are.
I think giving people are the most -
who was it? McCheyne?
We sang one of his songs -
I think it was he that said
that you should so live your life
so as to be missed when you are gone.
And there is nobody who is so missed
as the giver.
And you think of Dorcas (Tabitha)
when she died.
You know what's sad to say?
There are some people within these four walls
that if you were to die right now,
you wouldn't be missed a whole lot
because you're a taker.
You're a depleter.
And your life is not heavily characterized
by being a giver.
Givers are missed.
Givers impact this world
more than anyone else.
Givers.
How precious they are to the church!
This excerpt is from the full sermon:
Takers and Givers:
Stop Stealing; Start Giving.
