Leviticus 22

The Law here is telling us to give our first fruits to God.  The only thing that automatically comes from my paycheck at a true percentage of my earnings is my 401k pre-tax deductions.  How sad is that.  What would God say to that?  I can guess that he would probably say that I am putting my harvest in barns for safekeeping, when I might be taken before I can use it.  The church and others could use my gifts now, not 100 years from now...

Did you know that the U.S. is one of only a few countries that allows tax deductions for money given to charitable causes?  That means that others, who are taxed higher and make less money, truly give that money away not expecting anything in return...
