And before the LORD your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always." - Deuteronomy 14:22-23. <br /><br />I had never thought about tithing as being a way to fear God. <br /><br />Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378594821836169485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-71118229350272291452016-03-16T07:11:56.959-05:002016-03-16T07:11:56.959-05:00Deuteronomy 15:9

If you refuse to make the loan and the needy person cries out to the Lord, you will be considered guilty of sin. <br /><br />Would be tough to lend someone money, especially if you know ahead of time that at the seven year mark they won't have paid it all back. This tests the lenders commitment to God, but also the one receiving the loan should feel responsible to first of all not put the lender in this position by needing the loan, and second to take responsibility to do their best to pay it back in full and not have any hard feelings amongst those around you. <br /><br />An interesting law, which to us would look like something that today would be taken advantage of by many.
