Tax Time

Wow, it is here again; time to pay those taxes. I am paying more than I am used too this year and that hurts a bit.

I do not want to pay a penny more than I owe and, as a Christian, I do not want to pay a penny less than I owe. Living true to Jesus I can do no less. Being part of His kingdom compels me to do as Jesus said when asked about taxes, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." (See Matthew 22:21)

By the grace of God, I am determined to never short change either one. That means that I pay and pray. I will pay my taxes (even when it hurts) and pray for our nation and its leaders (even when I do not agree), and I will choose to live full out for God every day of my life. What about you?
