In March I develop six sermons on giving from lessons received through CTI. Our giving has risen since then. We are an older congregation of 36 family units- widows and retirees with few younger families. Yet they have a generous heart. So the spirit of generosity is there.

My issue is not primarily with God's call on my income - it is with the 'before and after' taxes. Governance of my country should not leave me with a dollar worth less than half its worth before any charitable giving. While I need to wrestle with my selfish spending, excessive taxation, in my view, is the main impediment to not feeling capable in my giving. At the same time, I admit that ancient governance did not provide education, medical plans, or pensions.....and retirement does not seem to be a biblical concept of any stature...

I think that proper education concerning giving is the key. The scriptures speak profoundly about the subject. However, the scriptures, in many cases is not taught within the context and within the principle given; especially in the Old Testament. Moreover, the purpose of giving in our day and culture has moved away from its essential purpose. It all goes back to a heart issue within Leadership and within the congregation.
