We are in the midst of trying to start a Stewardship campaign - even though all the news continues to be very bleak and we hear words like "never before" or "not since the Great Depression" and "Worldwide recession." But is that enough to get us off the hook of giving?
No it is not.
It is a given that the bucket we have to pull from may be smaller, but it is still a spiritual act to give and to give sacrificially. Sacraficial giving is giving that means something, that changes us in some way when we do it. Not sacrifice that hurts us, but that makes us stronger.
So in the pie that God gives us, as we slice it all up and give to the mortgage, the utililties, the credit cards and whatever else we may have, let us not forget to give God the portion that belongs to God in the first place.
