AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 23:23 ¶ "Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you give a tenth (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have neglected the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the [primary] things you ought to have done without neglecting the others. |

Bible Note: Mark D Seyler, Here is an answer to your questions about biblical giving. Don't stop at ten percent. - Acts 2 44 And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; 45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. (NAS95) Acts 4 34 For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales 35 and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need. (NAS95) - Rather, give 100 percent of your property and possessions to your local church, instead of merely ten percent. Why hold back? (Unless, of course, your local assembly will spend the entire sum on new stereo equipment or landscaping development.) - Blessings, Reighnskye |
