Here's the excerpt that Lisa shared…
"Give Sacrificially
Early in our marriage, Katie and I were part of a home fellowship. A couple joined the group soon after being released from prison. Even though they hadn’t been Christians for long, their affection for the Lord was evident. They were thankful that He had forgiven them, that He would want a relationship with them after the things they had done, and that He would allow them to begin new lives in Christ. Because of their decisions that led to their incarcerations, and the burned bridges with most—if not all—family members and friends, it wouldn’t be too much to say that our home fellowship was just about all they had.
They were part of our group when Katie was pregnant with our first child, Rhea. Everyone was excited for us, but perhaps because this couple had no children or grandchildren, they seemed more excited than anyone else. They desperately wanted to give Rhea a gift when she was born, but as you can guess, they didn’t have much. They settled on a dirty, smelly blanket, which they put in a torn plastic bag. They were smokers, so we had to put the blanket on the sanitary cycle on our washer quite a few times, but we still couldn’t get rid of the smell.
While the blanket didn’t cost much and was never useful to us, the gift was very meaningful. Why? Because they had so little, we knew the sacrifice they had made. Giving is much bigger than the gift. If I can use two analogies, the gift is an iceberg above the water, and below the surface is what went into the gift. The gift is a tree, and the roots in the ground are what went into the gift."

We are not superior people telling inferior people to get their lives together. We are beggars who have found the Bread of Life in Christ, telling other beggars where they can find Him too.
In this sermon from Luke 24:47–49, I explain what it means to proclaim the gospel to all nations as witnesses empowered by the Holy Spirit.

How can our sins be forgiven?
The natural answer is, “I must do something to make up for what I have done.” But Jesus did not send His disciples to preach penance, religious works, or self-punishment.
He sent them to preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins in His name.
Forgiveness is found in Christ, not in trying to pay for sin ourselves.
