Do not neglect the Levites living in your towns

 Deuteronomy 14:1-29

You are children of the Lord your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave the front of your heads for the dead, fo your are a people holy to the Lord your God.

Clean and unclean food.

Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.

Do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

At the end of every three years, bring all the titles of that your’s produce and shore it in your towns, so that the Levites and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Pagan mourning practices are forbidden.

As a reminder that all wealth is God’s gift a proportion is to be regularly set aside. Jewish writers generally see the tithe here as a ‘second tithe’, the first being given to the Levite. It provides an occasion for people to enjoy the results of their labor, and to share generously with others.

Why?

Sharing is good behavior for all I have is the grace of the Lord, generosity is our heart like to share the blessing of the Lord to other. When we give up and God will give us the power and the more blessing.

Do not shave or cut my body for I am belong to the Lord.

Take care the weakness and the servant of the Lord, the missionary for they are working for the Lord and us.

從信仰儀式進入生活中所需要注意的細節。

不要學習異教風俗：

飲食習慣規範：不完全是因為衛生關係，神的兒女與其他人不同，不是以喜好，文化來做標準。以神的吩咐為準則！

奉獻十一是以感恩的心來奉獻，不是以納稅的心態來奉獻，更不是交差了事！平安祭要與人分享，所以十一奉獻還要加上平安祭。
