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.
κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."

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.
