I once heard Warren Buffet say in an interview (I paraphrase here) about his $26 billion gift to the Gates Foundation: "My gift has not changed my lifestyle one bit. I still go to the movies I want to go to and eat at the restaurants I want to dine at. But what about the person who gives a gift that requires they can't go to the movies or eat out. They are the true givers—the true heroes [of generosity]."
Possible Preaching Angles: (1) Giving, Generosity, Sacrifice; (2) God's love—In contrast to Buffet, God did change his "lifestyle" when he gave his only Son. Christ did change his lifestyle when he died for us.
