The basic question is not how much of our money we should give to God, but how much of God’s money we should keep for ourselves.”—J. Oswald Sanders.

We often forget that “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father…” (James 1:17). Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, which is a poetic way of saying that he owns everything. All that we think we possess has simply been entrusted to us by God, who expects us to be good stewards of all the blessings he has given us.

Remembering all this might make it easier to decide how much to give to the church this Sunday.
