Would you give?

I found this article very encouraging: link. It's on the efforts of Christians in Cambodia, who are bringing the bible to the people there through technology. It's really interesting that millions are being spent on spreading God's word.

Economically, this is the worst investment. There is no return on your investment. All that money that goes into making audio and visual bibles will not result in more money. It is a capital black hole.

Spiritually, this is the best investment. This is God's words afterall!

I remember when Timothy Keller explained that the word "righteousness" was used by the Israelites for people that were blessed abundantly and gave abundantly. In other words, a righteous man or woman is one that gives as much as they receive.

There are rich people that are good stewards of their wealth. This is not a knock on rich people. Rather, rich or poor, what do you do with your money that makes you righteous? If are saving up to get that nice car or house, are you doing it for yourself or for the glory of God. Are you planning to use that nice car to evangelize and help those in need (i.e. give rides), or do you think that you would be swallowed up in pride for that which you possess? These are good questions to ask yourself when considering righteousness and being a good steward of your money.
