Malachi 2:10-15 

"Infinity and eternity are difficult if not impossible for the human mind to comprehend. It's much easier to deal with beginnings and endings because these are what we experience and observe everyday. The world is one of finite things, with edges, boundaries, dimensions, origins, endings, startings, stoppings, appearances, disappearances. Only when we gaze into the starry heavens do we begin to grasp, however dimly, the idea of infinity. But the same questions that stirred the first inquiring minds thousands of years ago still plague the sophisticated, far seeing scientist of today. What lies beyond? Always one can imagine a boundary. But never a boundary with nothing beyond." 
   –Dr. William Lee Stokes, The Genesis Answer: A Scientist's Testament for Divine Creation 

Malachi 3:7, 8 

The Beautiful Story of Christmas
The beautiful story of Christmas
Grows sweeter and dearer each year.
The Bethlehem star glowing brighter
In a world that is dark with fear.
For deep in the heart of a Christian
There is peace in a world at war.
For the signs of His second coming
Are greater than ever before.
So let's think of Him in our giving,
This gift we've so freely received,
And lovingly share Him with others
Who never before have believed.
One candle of faith in the darkness
Can dispel every shadow of fear.
The beautiful story of Christmas
Grows sweeter each day of the year.
   –Alice H. Mortenson  

"The offerings in Israel were the first-fruits, not less than one-sixtieth of the corn, wine, and oil. (Deuteronomy 18:4). There were several kinds of tithes: (1) the tenth of the remainder after the first-fruits were taken, this amount going to the Levites for their livelihood (Leviticus 27:30-33); (2) the tenth paid by Levites to the priests (Numbers 18:26-28); (3) the second tenth paid by the congregation for the needs of the Levites and their own families at the tabernacle (Deuteronomy 12:18); and (4) another tithe every third year for the poor (Deuteronomy 14:28-29)."
   –Dr. Charles Feinberg, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi
