Imagine
standing shoulder to shoulder with onlookers by a dirt road. The
woman behind you is on her tiptoes, trying to see who is coming. In

Blessed is [He] who comes in the name of the Lord! —Luke 19:38 |
Today, people are
still curious about Jesus.
Although we can’t pave His way with palm branches or shout praises to Him in person, we can still honor Him. We can discuss His remarkable works, assist people in need (Gal. 6:2), patiently bear insults (1 Peter 4:14-16), and love each other deeply (v.8). Then we must be ready to answer the onlookers who ask, “Who is Jesus?”  So let our lips
and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine. —Watts
We
honor God’s name when we call Him our Father and live like His Son.

Al mismo tiempo, muchos cristianos rehúsan someterse a la exhortación bíblica tocante a ofrendar al Señor. Diezmar es un concepto del Antiguo Testamento. El diezmo era un requisito de la ley en la cual todos los Israelitas ofrendaban al tabernáculo / templo el 10% de todo lo que ganaban y hacían crecer ( Levítico 27:30; Números 18:26; Deuteronomio 14:23; 2 Crónicas 31:5 ). El Nuevo Testamento en ninguna parte ordena, o aún recomienda que los cristianos se sometan a un sistema legalista de diezmar. Pablo declara que los creyentes deberían apartar una porción de sus ingresos a fin de dar soporte a la iglesia ( 1 Corintios 16:1-2 ). El Nuevo Testamento en ningún lugar señala un cierto porcent...
