As I've said, I've been thinking about tithing . . . not just me, a bunch of us have been. The more I read, the more I'm realizing that the tithe was used for:
- Feasting oneself with a group of believers
- Providing food for the priests
- Helping the needy
That's a lot of stuff for one lump of money. My current hang up is the proportion used for for me versus the portion used for other people. My thought is that I need to be a whole lot more generous to needy people, because I have a lot. I also think that my church should physically downsize its facilities because they're not needed and so it's eating up my tithe when some people aren't eating at all.
Continuing to think . . .
grace.
