We want to hear from you!
In the first part of this series, we talked about how to figure out your tithe from rental income and we spoke about Gross vs. Net issues. I was not prepared for the response that came from that article... I don't want to put words in people's mouths, but the spirit of some of the comments came across to me as: 'to talk about tithing is legalism!' What ever happened to *wanting* to serve Christ with *excellence*? You are not saved by tithing... you are saved by the finished work of Christ alone on the Cross. But when someone has sacrificed so much for you, don't you *want* to please them? Don't you *want* to seek them out and find out what they want and do it? Or if someone pulls you out of a burning car just before it explodes, are you then going to thumb your nose at them and walk away?

I think we have it very easy in 2003. I remember my parents paying a "building fund" and being asked for assessments to pay for a new building. I figured one time my parents were paying 30-35% of their income. I don't balk now at paying a generous fast, perpetual education fund or missionary donation.
