Sacrificial:

What would you consider sacrificial giving?

A.  Tithing (10% of your income)
B.   Giving above and beyond your tithe
C.   Giving until you can't go out to eat/movies/fun activity once or twice a month
D.   Giving up the proceeds from one fun activity
E.   Giving even if it occasionally cuts into your regular grocery bill
F.   Giving even if it means no extra groceries that week (Living on the storehouse of your pantry)
G.  Giving only when the Spirit prompts you specifically- no matter the amount or how much it pinches
H.   Giving everything once in a while.
I.   "Other" or "A combination of some of the above"


Sitting across from the temple treasury, He watched how the crowd dropped money into the treasury. Many rich people were putting in large sums. And a poor  widow came and dropped in two tiny coins worth very little. Summoning His disciples, He said to them, " I assure you: This poor widow has put in more than all those giving to the temple treasury. For they all gave out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she possessed —all she had to live on." 
Mark 12:41-44

  1. "I. "Other"......Giving when you know you "can't" and trusting God to provide so that you "can". :)"
