Restore to God His due in tithe and time. A stolen tithe infects
the whole estate. Sundays observe. Think when the bells chime that it is
angels' music; therefore, don't come late. At that time God deals blessings.
If a king [queen, movie star, rock star or VIP] did this, who would not hurry,
even pay, to see the show?
Because God has given us everything, we return to God
one tenth of our wealth and time. We have already received our blessings
of life, family and friends. Some of us thank God for health of mind and
body, occupation to contribute to our family, security and society to participate
with a larger community. We appreciate and acknowledge these gifts, and we
recognize those less fortunate who contribute what they have. We owe Him
that much. Not to return the debt steals from God His due and makes a debt
against our possessions and our person. If we do not repay the debt that
we owe, the obligation damages our whole being.
Sundays are important, and we should observe them because
it is time that we return to God. If we put the service in perspective we
would be joyous to run and participate. If we think that the bells that ring
before the service are the music of angels, we would never come late. If
a king gave blessings at an audience, we would be happy to run and pay admission
to see the show. How much more should we attend, be on time, give a
donation and be exhilarated where God gives His blessings to us.
