My point? If we value a dollar (or a car, or other posession) more than our fellow man, we should probably re-evaluate our priorities if we plan to go to heaven.
I know I have a long way to go but I'm working on it.

I am really curious, where in the bible does it say to give 10%?
This is an honest question I am not trying to be a smart ass.
I worked with a "Music Minister" from a local church. He was ranting and raving one day because he did not get a raise and the "Youth Minister" of his church did. He was venting at me over it and telling me he was going in to quit his position unless he got a raise. I asked why he was even being paid, if he loved god he would do it for free. He told me he has 4 mouths to feed and needed the money.
I don't get it. Unsing God for personal profit does not sit well with me.
