Jesus challenges us to reconsider what true worship and charity means. It's not a matter of how much you give, but the spirit in which you give it. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2021:2-4&version=NIV 2009-09-11T13:05:31-05:00 Christ praised a poor widow who gave just a tiny amount as an offering--but it was all she had. God is not interested in the amount of time or money you give in His service; what He cares about is how selfless and generous you are with the resources you've been given, great or small.
