So the discussion began with&#8230; The Home is one of three primary institutions An institution is any organization or structure in society which [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Recently on Yahoo Answers a person (we’ll call him Jerry) submitted a question about tithing: “Does money I tithe have to be given to the church to be considered tithing?” The reason for the question had nothing to do with selfishness, materialism or bad financial management. His question was motivated by generosity. The church Jerry [...]
