My issue is not primarily with God's call on my income - it is with the 'before and after' taxes. Governance of my country should not leave me with a dollar worth less than half its worth before any charitable giving. While I need to wrestle with my selfish spending, excessive taxation, in my view, is the main impediment to not feeling capable in my giving. At the same time, I admit that ancient governance did not provide education, medical plans, or pensions.....and retirement does not seem to be a biblical concept of any stature...

I've experienced and have learned a lot over the past 10 years about giving and finances when it comes to the church. People must come to the knowledge of the truth about what the bible says about money. There are more scriptures in the bible concerning money, finances and wealth than there is about faith, love, and commandments. "ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." We must come to understand that as Christians we are Kingdom builders and God's way is no where near the way we've been accustomed to living. Surrendering the world's way of finances for God's way yields a better profit.

I think that proper education concerning giving is the key. The scriptures speak profoundly about the subject. However, the scriptures, in many cases is not taught within the context and within the principle given; especially in the Old Testament. Moreover, the purpose of giving in our day and culture has moved away from its essential purpose. It all goes back to a heart issue within Leadership and within the congregation.
