Galatians 6
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
A pastor typically makes little money since he isn't supposed to live a materialistically indulged lifestyle. We should support our leaders as best as we can whether it be for social, spiritual or financial as the less they worry these trivial problems the more time they can spend focusing on developing God's kingdom. I don't live with my parents anymore which means I have to be careful with my finances as I don't want to end up homeless, however my worry for my own comforts can make me neglect Church tithes. Obviously this would mean that i'm relying on my own works rather than God's provisions. I hope that I can ration my finances better so that I can give at least 10% of my income.
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
Someone may stop watching pornography but still look at women with sexual intent, another person can stop gossiping but still think with a prideful mindset. Although these people changed their actions they remain unchanged in their walk with God. What is important to God is for allegiance inside out, not just for what others can see of you. I can somewhat still live this sort of way, tendencies to rationalise my mistrust of people is a big issue that gets in the way of fellowship.
