Tithing, Part four

     I told my spiritual daughter that giving is not an obligation like paying dues to belong to a club.  You can't pay God enough to earn your salvation.  Why would He want you to give Him what He already has, what already belongs to Him?  He is the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Savior.  What He wants is you, freely given to Him, not taken by force, no given out of obligation, just freely given back to Him.

     Ron Rhodes in What Does the Bible Say About ... ? says "God is not interested in your money until He first has your heart."  If He has your heart, your attitude will be correct toward your money.
