There was a thread from 2012ish on giving to him who asks you that exhorted me to obey that commandment of Jesus. Major contributors (with rough quotes according to memory) were

Peregrino - "In what other way [than doing temporal good deeds] is it possible, sir, to follow Jesus while we inhabit a physical body?"
Dan Z - "If God incarnate declares his will for my life in one passage, so be it. Jesus sometimes calls me to do impractical things, things that rely more on faith than on..."
