The More You Know, The Less You Realize You Know...

"A life of faith is not defined by being proud of your answers; rather, it's defined by your humility to keep asking questions. 

When it comes to living a spiritual life of faith, the more you know, the less you realize you know, and therefore the more eager and prepared you are to keep seeking the truth. Don't be afraid to ask questions. That is what seeking the truth is: It's like picking up a question, throwing it into the dark forest outside, then taking the lamp of the Holy Spirit upon your feet, and, one step at a time, walking by faith until you not only find the question again, but also the answer wrapped around it as well."

Thou Shalt Circumcise!

This comic strip nails it. One of my favorites from the Searching for Grace series, by Mick Mooney.

"Abraham tithed before the Law, therefore, thou shalt tithe", is a popular line among ministries that know tithing is from the Old Covenant, but still overtly or subtly imposes tithing. This is done while conveniently forgetting that Abraham circumcised before the Law as well, and yet, we don't see the same zeal for preaching about circumcision. 

Secondly, Abraham did not tithe "to be blessed", as it is popularly led to believe. What he gave was from the spoils of a war. Abraham was blessed simply because God conferred the blessing upon him. Period.

Fast forward to Moses. Under the old covenant, blessings or curses hinged on one's actions. Under the new covenant, however, a person is blessed because of Jesus' finished work on the cross. It's called Grace. Under the new covenant, giving (to whoever the heart guides) is done cheerfully, whether it is 0.1% or 100%.
