This weekend at Community we gave every household a copy of the book: The Blessed Life, by Robert Morris. This will be true for the next couple weeks, as long as supplies last.

Now that you’ve got your book, what do you do?

It’s simple. The Blessed Life is a powerful book that will help you dig deeper into what we’re studying on the weekends at Community. You can read at your own pace, but if you want to finish it during this series, read three chapters a week.

As we started this series I said, “The key to the blessed life is a heart of generosity. Generous with our lives, with our time, with our money, with our stuff, and with our abilities.”

I want ALL OF US to experience The Blessed Life. I believe this book will open our eyes to see what God wants FOR us (not from us) as we learn to truly be more like Him in this area.

Early on in The Blessed Life, this is what the author has to say about the big picture:

“No one is a natural-born giver. We are all born takers. We enter this world with a fallen sin nature, and at the heart of that nature is a tendency toward selfishness. In contrast, God is a giver. The most widely known verse in the Bible tells us: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16).”

Then Robert Morris goes on to say: “God and generous both begin with the letter G. Satan and selfish both begin with S. That should help you keep it straight!”

Enjoy the book. I know I am…again.
