Treasure reveals heart, not vice versa. Where is your treasure? Here are some questions to help you evaluate.
- What does your checkbook say? Are you tithing on income and increase or are you studying to form well-sounding theological loopholes? (Making loopholes is a characteristic of a Pharisaical spirit.)
- What do you value? Who or what do you talk about more than anything else? That is who or what you will sacrifice for. You sacrifice for that which you treasure.
- Do you spend more money on Christmas than you give to God during the year?
- Do you spend more money on vacation than you give to God during the year?
- Do you spend more money on your pets in a year than you give to missions or benevolence?
- Do you dread the offering or battle internally when it is announced? If so, why? What are you afraid of?
- Do you find more joy at the golf course than you do in church?
