Family Matters

Biblical instruction and expectations for Christian giving can sometimes be misinterpreted or refuted when modern Christians believe that the laws laid down by Moses have been abolished by Christ, leaving us with only two new commandments to live by. The idea of tithing, therefore, seems outdated, and many Christians try to argue its relevance today. Interestingly, the New Testament has a lot to say about giving, and in fact, it further challenges those who have attempted to get away without tithing based on wanting to live by the New Testament instructions.

God is so intricately woven into the tapestry of our lives that it seems impossible to exclude Him from any part of it.

It's not easy to be married to someone who is addicted to a substance of any kind, marijuana included. It’s lonely, painful, and isolating, just to name a few of the negative factors.
