Greater Percentage Every Year

Excerpt from Mark Batterson post:  Tax Day


...

Lora and I circled Luke 6:38 a long time ago. You can’t out give God. It’s the law of measures. Our goal is to give a greater percentage of our income every year.  I’m reminded of it every time tax season comes around.  Our tax return isn’t just a way of measuring how much we’re making or how much we’re paying in taxes. It’s also a way of measuring how much we’re giving.

I certainly love the tax write off that comes with giving, but that is a minor benefit compared to the eternal dividends of investing in God’s kingdom.  Compound interest forever!
