Following Jesus means citizenship in God's Kingdom. Unlike the nations of this world, God demand no compulsory payment of taxes. Still, His will is for an expanding and prosperous Kingdom. God's economy runs on love. That means we give as we have been given. We love as we have been loved by God. Help your congregation find a Biblical frame of perspective for understanding how to think about the use of wealth, including taxes, as an offering of love in the expansion of God's Kingdom.
