PLAYING THE PERCENTAGES

GOD IS NOT IMPRESSED BY ZEROS, BUT BY PERCENTAGES.
     When Jesus and his disciples sat outside the Temple watching people throwing coins into the offering box, what do you think was going through the minds of his crew?  Kind of like watching paint dry or grass grow or a fence rust.  Excitement.
     But, Jesus had a point to make, and that point was simple.   God isn't impressed by the amounts we give away, but by the percentages we give away.  Makes sense if you think about it.  $10,000 to a millionaire is insignificant when compared to $100 given by someone with only $200 in their bank account.  The difference?  Percentage.
    So, you need to know your percentages.  In other words, you need to know...

What percentage of your income do you:  LIVE ON?
                                                                   SAVE?
                                                                   GIVE AWAY?

What percentage of your time do you:  LIVE?
                                                               WASTE?
                                                               GIVE AWAY?

Do you know them?  You need to.  Why?  Because if they're important to God, they should be important to you...right?

So, figure it out.  It may surprise you.  It may excite you.  It may concern you.  Whatever it does, you have to know it.
