This Labor Day Weekend, we’re talking about something that seems to be everywhere: tipping. From take-out counters to self-checkout screens, the ask seems to keep growing. But as believers, how do we respond with wisdom, grace, and a witness that honors Christ? In this devotional, we’ll explore “tip creep,” a biblical view of generosity, and the greatest gift ever given — Jesus Christ, who gave it all for us. Keep listening for a reminder that our attitude, our actions, and our witness can point others to the gospel in every encounter.
