“But you are not under a system similar to that by which the Jews were obliged to pay tithes to the priests. If there were any such rule laid down in the Gospel, it would destroy the beauty of spontaneous giving and take away all the bloom from the fruit of your liberality!

No, the gift must be a free one, or it has lost all its sweetness.” IfsGivingShouldBookLawFatherLostPayWifeHusbandFruitAffectionJewPriestsSpontaneousSweetnessObligedTokensTitheLiberalityLaw Books Author:Charles Spurgeon
