What we Give

In a sense, we are not required to give anything to Jesus in this life. We are called to give everything, but not required to give anything. Pretending to give all when we are not is dangerous, though. Give all, give none, do something half-way; whatever you do, though, be honest: with yourself, your neighbor, and with Jesus. This includes your time, your attention, your stuff, and your relationships.

But a man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property. However, he kept back part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge, and brought a portion of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet. (Acts 5:1-2 HCSB ©®)
