I was gonna say something, but I'll simply agree whole-heartedly with Lux... I pay tithing to my church as if it's just another expense, then otherwise it's about helping people as you can.
Another thing that my church stresses is the importance of living responsibly. Most everything that comes up on these boards, my church tells people we should be doing--minimize debt, keep money set aside for emergencies, live within your means, etc. If you are personally responsible and put together, you are better able to help the people around you.
