That’s extreme, isn’t it?Īnd I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. One time this involved throwing bags of gold through an open window in the middle of the night, so the recipient could pay his pressing debts and avoid dire consequences. Saint Nicholas was known for acts of generosity. You will see that he was a Christ-follower with a reputation for extreme commitment to his faith. If you have not already watched the Superbook Show episode “Nicholas”, do it now and learn some of who the Man Behind the Myth really was.
