10%

Industrialist R. G. LeTourneau was an internationally known industrialist living off 10% of his income and giving 90% to Christian work around the world. His humble beginnings started while dropping out of High school at age 14, working some 40 odd jobs and breaking his neck in a car crash and losing his first child at infancy. One would assume after achieving financial success, LeTourneau would be eager to stockpile his wealth for his family and himself.

He had a different opinion saying, "I'm just a mechanic that God has blessed, and it seems He wants me to go around telling how He will bless you too."

Do you find yourself stockpiling blessings? If so, remember that God gives to us that we may give to others. Blessings from God should motivate us to tell others about Him, to share what we have with those who don't know Christ.
