Tithe, Offerings, and “First-fruits”

http://lifejournaling.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/tithe-offerings-and-first-fruits/
Tithe, offerings, and “First-fruits” are something that are not particularly common in today’s culture. We often think that we acquired our wealth and privilege through our own hard work. Even among Christians, few return a tithe, or truly honor God for the blessings He has bestowed. Why is that?

And why, when some churches practice the “Old Testament” practice of tithing, do they not teach people to follow the above ritual? So very interesting. This seems to be just one more ritual that may have lost it’s popular meaning, cultural significance, and relevancy. Too bad really.
