Evening: Psalms 110.1-5(6-7), 116, 117; Matthew 22.15–22
Jesus said, “Give the emperor what is the emperor’s and give God what is God’s.” Conclusion? … Perhaps people owe the emperor very little compared with what they owe God? They must decide what they value most. Does this inform our approach to faith and taxes today? Some people wonder whether the Church should give up its charitable status. In the spirit of Jesus, it’s a fair question: is it ‘generosity’ if it depends on receiving a tax-break? More importantly, to receive tax-breaks for my faith is inconvenient if ever, like Jesus, I must challenge governments because of my faith.
