From My Heart: Equal Sacrifice, Not Equal Giving has been one of the foundational principles of our church building program. While we could divide up the expenses for our new church and say to each family, "Here is your portion," that would hardly be right because we are not all equal in our financial ability. What we ask is that each family faithfully give what they can, and to give it with heart. -- DBM
