Tax vs. Charity
8 March 2009 by Brian.
As big government looks to get even bigger, it seems that more of our earnings will being taken by government for use in curing society’s ills. I heard a sermon this morning that made me think and I thought I would pose these questions to you: Once government starts taking more of my paycheck AND it has a program for every conceivable problem in our country, will I be less generous in my giving? Would that absolve me of my God-given responsibility to love my neighbor and meet his/her needs out of love for Christ? If it doesn’t relieve me of the responsibility altogether, is it lessened?
