As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Worry or Generosity

The Generosity Factor: Discover the Joy of Giving Your Time, Talent, and TreasureJesus suggested living a life of generosity. But, if we do so, who will provide for us? Jesus taught a secret ingredient to the generous life (Matthew 6:24-34) — don’t worry. We may be tempted to think that generosity is a luxury, that only those who have all the food and clothing they need or want can afford. We allow worries over such things to stop us from living life. Life is more important than attire and appetite. Fashion and dietary worries can so control our lives that we don’t really live. Are we slaves to worry? Jesus wants us to live free from the anxiety that troubles others. God values us highly. Look how he provides abundantly for wildlife. He will for us too. Why would God not provide for us! Worry never accomplished anything, but God can.
