Charity - how much do you give?

[treefencecar]

As we are at a time of year when people tend to give more to charity I wondered what other Christians give?

Personally I give around 1% of my income per year and I used to give even less than this. I feel I could contribute more but I am also mindful of looking after my family.

Matthew 6
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Hi there!
Any amount given to charity should be okay. Whether 1% or less or more of a yearly income, as long as it is given humbly without any expectations of something in return.

Whatever you decide to give, it must be cheerfully given as the Lord loves a cheerful giver.

I rarely give to any organised charity - so many of them have political agendas these days. If you look around you can soon find people in need ... and that is probably how it was practised in Bible days.
