Lifestyle Of Giving

Matthew (6:19)
Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.

Luke (16:9)
And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive and welcome you into the everlasting habitations.

Who does not know Warren Buffett, the 70-year-old man who was recorded as the third richest person in the world (Forbes 2007). He is a great investor, but he is also a philanthropist or a true philanthropist. Unsparing, he donated the money that was recorded as the largest donation in history, which was worth U.S. $30 billion, the Foundation Bill and Melinda Gates. This was equivalent to approximately 80% of the wealth that they have today.

Although he is a billionaire, Warren always insists a simple lifestyle. In fact, very simple. He lives with only a modest living house worth 31 thousand dollars with three bedrooms. In fact, if he wants, with his wealth he can buy some of Warren's court at the same time. Wealth reached more than 52 billion dollars. Nevertheless, it all does not tempt him. He is excited to share it without trying to flaunt their wealth. What about the pattern of our lives? Are we willing to adjust our lifestyles so that we can give freely and generously?

From all the billionaire who I know, money just stating their nature. if they are not a good people before they have the money, they will still be people who are not good with money billions. (Warren Buffett)
