My favorite blog that I read, Stuff Christians Like, is having a Money Month due to the writer of the blog spoke recently at Dave Ramsey's headquarters. Dave recently had a tipping hour on his show and it always comes up about Christians being TERRIBLE tippers, especially on Sunday after church. I guess we forget, right as we leave the church doors, that our lives are supposed to be a living testimony to Christ. Giving a tract that looks like a $100 bill isn't cute, it isn't going to make someone read it and become a Christian. It is going to make someone disgusted with Christians and be turned off from God. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox for now.

This also makes me think of this powerful song and video.

Good post. I think tithing must be the hot topic right now. I just ran into three other blogs plus yours discussing it right after I wrote about it in my own. I'm going to have to watch how I tip more carefully.
