What are We to Render Part 1

I want to start your minds off with this thought or this question this
morning, 'what comes to your mind when you think about taxes?' As
when Paul, speaking about governments, says in Romans 13 verse 7;
'render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes...'. What comes
to your mind when you go and make a new purchase on a big
ticketed item, and they add on that extra 12% here in British
Columbia. What feeling do you wrestle with, when for every thousand
dollars of your hard-earned money you just spent, the government
wants another extra, 120 of it.
