Not a tenth, but all. Everything we own belongs to God and we are only
stewards. Then it behoves us to watch how we spend it.

Does it go for luxury or for
missions; for non-necessities or for the evangelization of the world? Do we spend
it on ourselves to gratify our selfish desires, or is it held and used in God's work?

Are we simply banking it to leave to someone who is quite able to take care of
himself ? Or are we investing it as God's steward in the souls of men? Not, "How
much of my money will I give to God," but, "How much of God's money will I
keep for myself? "

Some day He will call us to account for our stewardship. Our
money, then, must also be placed on God's altar.

'Take my silver and my gold,'
'Not a mite would I withhold'
