Blessing of giving
August 22, 2017
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Jesus stated that it is more blessed to give than receive. Acts 29: 35. Just how generous are we? 95.4% of Americans give to charity.
V Those who earn less give a higher percentage of their income. Families earning under $20,000 annually give 4.6 %, Those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 give 2.5% or less. Above $100,000 that percent rises again. Where you give reveals what you value.
M 32 % of charitable giving goes to faith-based organizations. Other worthwhile possibilities include health research, hospitals, shelters and more. Of course, we encourage charitable giving.
