Quote to Consider
Andrew Bonar on Leviticus 5:16: “The trespasser is to be no gainer by defrauding God’s house. He is to suffer, even in temporal things … for his sin. He is to bring, in addition to the thing of which he defrauded God, money to the extent of one-fifth of the value of the thing. This was given to the priest as the head of the people in things of God, and representative of God in holy duties. It was to be a double tithe because of the attempt to defraud God. We shall never be gainers by stinting our time and service in the worship of God. What we withdraw from Him He will withdraw from us in another way. Besides, the very fact of cherishing such an idea in our minds will cause the Lord to veil His grace and glory from our view until we have anew sought Him by the blood of Jesus. And in the meantime, the sorrow and darkness of our heart will teach us that it is a bitter thing to depart from the Lord.”
