Since I was introduced to the practice of God's presence, which in turn led me into the contemplative way, I have nearly always felt so rich, so blessed, so sincerely full of "enough"... I believe it is on this robust, overflowing ...contemplative pathway that one gains the joy and serenity to be generous.
Too often we see the Bible through whatever lens we get from our culture.
It's not about the church meeting your needs; it's about joining the mission of God's people to meet the world's needs.
