In fact, this is true for all of us. Big givers are not just measured by large gifts, but by a proper proportion of our wealth. When we tithe, we are all equal in our giving. Maybe it would be helpful if I told you the reasons behind our giving. We can give to help feed, clothe, educate or heal people, but only the church brings the saving Word of God.
Nothing serves the deepest human needs better than the church.
It frightens me to read that Jesus is more severe with religious phonies than with anyone else. Richard Foster helps us see that Jesus wants us to be free from the tyranny of money in our lives. There is a spiritual force to our wealth, and that is why greed is called idolatry. If I cannot give money away, it owns me. If I own it, I am free to give it away.
