What Christians earn belongs to God, and they should earn it honestly and in ways that serve purposes consistent with being followers of Christ. What Christians spend belongs to God; and they should use it wisely, not foolishly, on things that enhance life and do not diminish it. What they save belongs to God, and they should invest in ways that strengthen society. What Christians give belongs to God; and they need to give generously, extravagantly, and conscientiously in ways that strengthen the body of Christ. Our devotions this week focus on proportion, rather than amount, as the measure of extravagance. Heres todays challenge: Just for yourself, actually calculate the proportion of your income you give for Gods purposes. Take your monthly giving and divide by your monthly income. Does the percentage surprise you? How do you feel about it? Blessings, Pastor Jim
