How Much To Give?

I appreciate Peter Sturgeon passing along this quote from C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.

"I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little….There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures exclude them."
