Purpose for Giving

Rick Moranis became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1980s and 1990s. His last live-action movie released in 1997; after that, he took a big step back from acting. His wife had died of cancer six years earlier. He retired from a very successful career to be a single dad and raise his children. Being a father to his children was more important than being a successful movie star. Being a giving person requires a clear understanding of priorities: what and who matter most. If we give to receive a blessing, we miss the point. If we give because Jesus paid it all, then we are on the right path.
