A Disciple's Generous Response
Resources

  

Becoming a Generous Disciple--
Six Principles to Live By

by the Presiding Bishopric, 2004, $4.95

This book is offered as a formative guide to help Community of Christ members and friends receive God’s generous gifts of love and grace as they respond faithfully to the call to be generous disciples of Jesus Christ. It gives depth to the six principles of A Disciple’s Generous Response:

  1. A disciple practices generosity as a spiritual discipline in response to God’s grace and love.
  2. A disciple is faithful in response to Christ’s ministry.
  3. A disciple’s financial response, while unique to individual circumstances, expresses love of God, neighbor, creation, and oneself.
  4. A disciple shares generously through tithing so that others may experience God’s generosity.
  5. A disciple saves wisely in order to create a better tomorrow for self, family, the church’s mission, and the world.
  6. A disciple spends responsibly as a commitment to live in health and harmony with God and the world.
