@Kyler Cook Most AWESOME thread I've seen on BP - ever!!! Many different ways to interpret things from a scriptural lens. Here's my 2 cents on how God has called me to live. 1. Tithing and charitable giving have been hijacked by the government and the church. Giving for a tax write off is giving to receive and that's not offering first fruits. In the same way, so many churches want to guilt you into giving directly to their institution (mostly because they have initiatives they feel are important).
