Money pinching kingdom

"I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare…If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us…they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.” - CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

This week we are studying The Rich Fool in our high school ministry and I am starting to believe that this study is more for me than for our students.

“The material blessings of life are either a mirror in which we see ourselves or a window through which we see God!” - Warren Wiersbe

“Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can.” - John Wesley

"Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." - Jesus, Luke 12:15

This one is for all of us, especially in the U.S. If we take Jesus seriously this should be a serious challenge for us. Glad you're tackling the topic!
