Matthew 23:23 … Tithes that please the Lord<br />
(05/03/20<strong>15</strong>)<br />
Just as a brief reminder: If you are a Christian and you tithe money <strong>to</strong> a<br />
church of any size instead of giving that money directly <strong>to</strong> the poor of your<br />
community, you have completely missed the point … and I will say as well that if<br />
you are a preacher or a pas<strong>to</strong>r or a reverend in a church of any size who is even<br />
one cent richer than the poorest member of your congregation, then you most<br />
certainly are NOT a true ―Man (or Woman) of GOD‖.<br />
“Woe <strong>to</strong> you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and<br />
cumin, and yet have neglected the weightier matters of the law: namely, justice and<br />
mercy and faithfulness ... For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you<br />
gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me<br />
clothing, I was sick and you <strong>to</strong>ok care of me, I was in prison and you visited me ... Truly I<br />
tell you, just as you did it <strong>to</strong> one of the least of these among you, so you did it for me.”<br />
~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 23:23 & Matthew 25:35-40)<br />
