Check this: Academic Pledges to give away £1m.
The BBC reported this story, of an academic-turned-philanthropist who pledges to give 10% of his salary as well as any money he earns beyond his basic needs to charity in the hope of impacting millions of peoples lives. Surely, this has been how many great Christians of the past and present have lived and are living. Wesley did this. Billy Graham does this. Christians who take the 10% tithe literally (and there are many) have been doing this since forever. So, let’s be proud of our generous heritage and let’s keep it up. As a family we are aiming to live in a similar way… first of all, though, I need a salary!
