Do gooders
Paul told Titus to teach people to “do good so they would not be unproductive.” (Tit 3:11) He told Timothy to instruct wealthy folks to use their money to “do good.” (1Ti 6:18). It is important that we program a habit of doing good into our lives. Rather than “random acts of kindness,” which are good, but, well, random...we should have a disciplined system of doing good. Is there something you volunteer to do regularly? Can you be counted on to be there? Do you take it as seriously as your job? Do you give to worthy causes systematically? Is a portion of your income dedicated to sharing with others? I encourage you (along with Paul) to build giving and serving into your regular habits (and you can still practice “random acts of kindness” too!)
