Did you know that if your household makes $52,000 per year or more that you are in the top 0.28% of the world's richest people?  That's right.  At that income you are among the top wage earners in the world!  And Jesus said that to whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).  This teaching continues with the requirement of God's people in matters relating to money, in particular that of generosity.
