When I was a kid there was an evangelist and his wife who used to come to our church. I can't remember his name, but he was very nice. He's since been divorced. I've never met the new wife, (that I recall). I just saw him on T.V. He was talking about giving to God tithes and offerings.
My problem with people on T. V. talking about giving to God is that they always (or usually) put up their 800 number. I believe we should all give to God. But I try to remember that Jesus is the only representation of God we have ever known on this earth and He loved the poor. He loved the sick. He loved the outcast. I believe when we give to the poor we are giving to God. I believe when we feed a hungry person we are putting food in the mouth of God. Jesus said that when we give to the 'least of these' we are giving to Him. So, the next time you see someone on T. V. reminding you to 'give to God', do it. Write a check to a ministry in your home town that feeds the poor.
