But how terrible it will be for you Pharisees!
For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest
part of your income, but you completely
forget about justice and the love of God.
You should tithe, yes, but you should not
leave undone the more important things.
An actor that was on his hospital deathbed was visited by a friend. His friend was surprised to find him reading the Bible, so he asked what he was hoping to find in the Good Book. The dying thespian mockingly said, "I'm looking for loopholes." There's some worldly reality to what the dying man said. More often than not, the world trains us to make excuses and rationalize the mistakes we make instead of conforming our lives to the Word of God. Galatians 6:7 says, “Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!” Forget about looking for loopholes in school, home, relationships, or maybe even church. Definitely forget about looking for loopholes to heaven. Rather that expend energy on a pointless task, put your efforts into doing the right thing and you'll happily reap the best things.
