True Charity

514 True Charity

C. S. Lewis didn’t talk about percent giving.
He said the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
He said our charities should pinch and hamper us.

If we live at the same level of affluence
as other people who have our level of income,
we are probably giving away too little.

Obstacles to charity include
greed for luxurious living,
greed for money itself,
fear of financial insecurity,
and showy pride.
