The Harvest of Doing Good - #5888
Give a gift when there's no occasion for your appreciation but just the person himself. Send those thank you notes. Give that compliment; that word of encouragement. Use the money that God's entrusted to you to lift people's burdens and people's spirits. Don't be afraid to be generous. After all, Jesus said, "You lose your life by trying to hang onto it, but you find your life by giving it away."

First day of the week in the Bible - a Christian perspective
In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians he gives them some advice on giving, saying that they should set aside a sum of money on the first day of the week each week so that when he came to collect there would be no problems. He wasn't just collecting this money for himself, but also for other projects and people.

"Give" in the Bible: Luke:6.38
Generosity is an important part of following Christ. Here we learn that not only is generosity important for its own sake--but that God's generosity to us is reflects how generous we are with others.

Kindness in the Bible: Deuteronomy 22:1-4
There's more to living righteously than just believing the right things. This passage encourages us not to passively sit by in the face of need, but to actively get out there and help those who need it. Whether it's a neighbor who needs a hand or a relief project across the world, we're called to actively work to help others.

Christian giving in the Bible: Matthew 6:1-4
Generous giving should be part of any Christian's life. But this passage cautions believers to give quietly and without making a big deal of it--charity and giving should be acts of spiritual service, and shouldn't be done to feed our own egos or broadcast our wealth and generosity to others.
