KINDNESS

The practice of biblical kindness is also known as service or love of neighbor. Kindness is a commitment to actions and attitudes that serve others with generosity of spirit and resources. While Jesus commanded us to love our neighbors (Mark 12:30-31), the practice of biblical kindness provides the motivation by rooting the kindness we offer others within the greater kindness we’ve been given in the gospel of God’s loving faithfulness to us in Jesus (Titus 3:3-6).

SIMPLICITY

Simplicity is an inner spirit of trust in God’s provision that expresses itself in a change of heart toward material possessions (Matt. 6:21). With the practice of simplicity, we recognize that everything we have belongs to God, we receive it with gratitude as a gift from him, and we freely share it with others. Simplicity allows us to reorient our lives as followers of Jesus in ways that free us from the demands of consumerism and an inordinate attachment to things to find abundant joy and contentment in him (Phil. 4:12-13).
