With the economy facing tough times, its a common reaction to hold back on spending and giving. But of course, the needs of others don't decrease when that happens, they actually remain the same if not increase. Times like that are times of testing on both sides of the coin. So will you be like the widow who still gave but out of her want (Mark 12:42-44)? Or will you continue to give through your abundance? Yes, your's and my abundance. But you may answer my paycheck is a whole lot less "abundant" than it was, say, a month ago. If that is so, how would you feel if I said that you can still give and its not money that is being asked for?
You can give something that according to current statistics, the average Christian has a least 9 of on their bookshelf: a Bible. The average Christian has at least 9 copies on their bookshelf. Now when I read that figure, I didn't quite believe it so I took a count. And I found out I must not be average because I only have 8!
Still what could yours and my "extra" Bibles do to help anyone?

"If
you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from
his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one
in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but
in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not
only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus..." (Philippians
