“The Bible contains a great deal about doctrinal priorities. Some of the most withering criticism leveled by our Lord was directed at religious meatheads who did not know that the altar was more important than the gold placed on it, and honoring parents was more important than contributing to the current pledge drive for the church parking lot. He also had some things to say about people who forgot justice and mercy while tithing the contents of every container in their spice racks. The Pharisees used to strain out a gnat and swallow a camel. In the last two thousand years, the church has perhaps advanced just a little bit. Now we strain out a June bug and swallow a camel” (Mother Kirk, p. 84).
