Be challenged by this CS Lewis quote:
“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusement, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our giving does not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say it is too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot because our commitment to giving excludes them.”

Right!
To settle on an amount or percentage would be a calculation and a performance of 'law'.
Give from the heart and let it be a true gift. (as true as a sinner can be)
Hey Justin,
What book is that quote from?
Brent,
I'm not sure. I saw it from some Mike Bullmore notes on Justin Taylor's blog.
I'll just use this and site it as from Justin Childer's blog. :)
