Givers Live Longer
May 7, 2023 • Austin Keller
In the past, there was a faith-based community that cherished their shared life and exhibited their unity by giving everything they had to one another. However, Ananias and Sapphira, who were not part of this community, attempted to disrupt their generosity by giving with false intentions. This raises the question of how we can discern when our giving becomes a hindrance rather than a help. This story teaches us the importance of being honest in our dealings with others, giving generously from the heart, and working together in harmony to achieve great things. May we follow the example of the early church in Acts 4:32-5:11 by living with integrity, generosity, and unity?
