		<description>Thank you Eddy for this post. I'm excited to keep reading this series. It's funny that one of Jesus' teachings about money, the issue of it belonging to the individual doesn't even exist. It's, "give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's." (Please don't say I support theocracy or socialism because of citing that passage.) I think the point Jesus makes in Mark 12 shows that everything is God's anyway, as you mentioned.

I was recently listening to a radio preacher -- I can't remember who it was -- and he went on a quick tangent about money. The sermon was all over the place, but his tangent stuck out to me. His picture of stewardship revolved around the 10% tithe (a debate I don't wish to have at this moment). He pointed out that many Christians don't even tithe and said that people put more trust in 10% of their income than in God. Whatever we may think about the rigidness of 10%, I thought his point was well put.

I'd also like to say amen to Scott's comment.</description>

		<description>Great post Eddy. Especially in our age of the popularly pagan "health &#38; wealth" message about our money, the biblical reminder that we are mere stewards at best of someone else's resources is a critical corrective.  I once read a quote by the TBN folks that they see giving/tithing as "lending to God."  I know many sincere Christians who give in hopes of receiving, instead of giving because of what we've received. It is the Malachi 3 passage overextended.</description>
