I think that too often we get caught up in this 10% God's/90% ours mentality. A quote I heard at a CSA Conference went like this: "God not only owns the cattle on 1000 hills, he also owns the hills!" The reality is that everything we have belongs to God, and he wants us to stewardly use the resources he's blessed us with 100%. Growing our generosity not only builds the Kingdom externally, it builds up the giver spiritually in an exponential way. Families go through times of struggle financially where Christian education can become a challenge for them, especially when their kids are in those formative years. Still, the steward who focuses on investing God's abundance will continue sacrificial giving as a lifetime lifestyle commitment, so let's not play the "numbers game".
