In Deuteronomy 26 God gave specific instructions regarding what the giver was to say at offering time. As the tithe was offered to Him they were directed to thankfully say how they had been delivered from slavery and brought into the land of blessing and abundance.

Now, take a moment to get a bill out of your wallet or purse. Examine it. If it’s a hundred dollar bill, keep it out. We’re going to receive the offering in just a moment. Look at the green side of the bill and you’ll see the prominent words In God We Trust. When you see it raise your hand.
