Christless religion always tends towards legalism and inconsistency. Jesus had previously rebuked the Pharisees for being blind guides (Matthew 23:16), unable to help others see the truth because they did not understand it. The issue in these verses is tithing – giving one tenth of what came into the home for God to use. In particular they seized on the herbs and spices (Leviticus 27:30).

“I love Word at Work. For years have read it on the move at some point during day. Recently I have been reading it with my wife who now also loves it and subscribes. We try to read together most days first thing but if not at least we both read at some point in day and can discuss when opportunity arises. I regularly recommend it to people and forward on for them to subscribe but do not repeatedly forward to same person so have tried to answer questions according. I would be very happy to discuss ideas on its use and development. I normally read on I-phone which recently has minor configuration issue.”
