40 Billionaires Pledge Half their Wealth
Some of the richest of the world are demonstrating remarkable generosity! Read the full report here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10870361
An incredible story, I’m sure you will all agree. You may not be a fan of Microsoft or perhaps, like me, completely despair at financiers, investors and bankers, but in this situation you have to admire Bill Gates and Warren Buffett!
This is not just ‘tipping’ this is tithing at it’s best, and shows an attitude we can all learn from – however large or small our own bank balance. 99% of us will never have wealth like these families yet whatever we have whether much or little it’s our responsibility to be generous with what we have!
May this story serve as a challenge; let’s be generous all the time! What happens when we put a greater good before our own personal wants and desires? Matthew 6v33 tells us ‘Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well’.
