From My Heart: Money is a symbol of our hearts. Our lives. When we sit down with our paycheck and do our bookkeeping, we reaffirm the lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives when we give Him the tithes and offerings first. As it says in Dueteronomy 14:23 LB, The purpose of tithing is to teach you to put God first in your lives. When I write out the check for the tithes and offerings before I write out the check for my mortgage and utilities and all the rest, I am saying, "Jesus, You are number one with me." -- DBM
