I want to be reading more. One way to help me remember this is to put up quotes on this blog. Here is one that I read in Mere Christianity before dinner today.
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusement, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charities expenditure excludes them.
It is good to evaluate if you are giving sacrificially and with joyful faith.
