Some of you may know that not only am I an ordained minister, I am also a tax consultant. I help many people resolve their tax debt with the states and the IRS. Now one day, I will transition out of this field and into the ministry full time. But for now, this is where God placed me.
So with that being said, I would like to remind everyone that today is April 15th also known as Tax Day. Today your 1040- Individual Income Tax Returns are due. If you haven't done them yet, I would advise you do them immediately, or file an extension. Either way do not miss the deadline! I would hate for one of you to end up being my clients. Owing money to the government is not a fun thing to go through, so get your taxes done!
Although, we may not always like to pay our taxes, (I know I sure don't) God reminds us that we should pay our taxes. Matthew 22:15-22 is the story about how the Pharisees try and trap Jesus in a tough question about taxes. Jesus replies to them saying "So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
God Bless,
