Pay Attention To SignsJulie Ackerman LinkThe
road was smooth and we were making good progress as we headed for Jay’s
dad’s house in South Carolina. As
we drove through the mountains in Tennessee, I began seeing detour
signs. But
Jay kept going, so I assumed that they didn’t apply to us. Shortly
before we reached the North Carolina border, we came to a sign that
said the highway ahead was closed due to a rock slide. We
would have to turn around. Jay was surprised. “Why
wasn’t there any warning?” he wanted to know. “There were lots of
warnings,” I said. “Didn’t
you see the signs?” “No,” he said, “why didn’t you mention them?” “I
assumed that you saw them,” I answered. We now tell this story to entertain our friends.

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...
