    In Scripture, harvest is not just about crops—it is about souls. It is about lives transformed by the grace of God. And here’s the truth: God calls His people to live with generous hearts so that His harvest may be plentiful.

    Go! And Sow with Generous Hearts Introduction: The Overflow of a Generous Heart Let me begin with a question: when you think of harvest, what comes to mind? For some, it’s golden fields ready to be gathered. For others, it’s full baskets of fruit and vegetables. Harvest is a time of joy, of ...read more

    My parents never made empty promises to me. Now that I’m an adult, I realize my parents were always honest with me. Because of their honesty, I’ve found it easier to believe in a God that keeps his promises. That is not true for many people who find God too mysterious to understand, much less trust.
