I mentioned that as a church we read the book Crazy Love; a wonderful life changing book.

Quotes on my mind from Crazy Love:
"Perhaps you start a movement called Aspiring to the Median, where people commit to living at or below the median U.S. income ($46,000 in 2006)and giving the rest away. Is it intimidating to think about giving radically and liberally?"

"Maybe you have already made sacrifices...The temptation is to level off increases with each passing year. Pride tells you that you've sacrificed more than others. Fear tells you it's time to worry about the future. Friends say you've given enough, that it's someone else's turn now."

"The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture. The Bible teaches us to be consumed with Christ and to faithfully live out His words."

"If one person "wastes" away his day by spending hours connecting with God, and the other person believes he is too busy or has better things to do than worship the Creator and Sustainer, who is the crazy one? If one person invests her or his resources in the poor-which, according to Matthew 25, is giving to Jesus Himself-and the other extravagantly remodels a temporary dwelling that will not last beyond his few years left on this earth, who is the crazy one?"

Luke 14:12-14 Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
