Guys, Rudy is making a good point here. Yall need to follow it closely. Some things are documented as "historical" and can be applied in a similar sense. But this particular instance could be used today similarly to take up an offering to help our brethren in a 3rd world country, not weekly giving to your church for the rest of your life.

Follow the context to develop your "pattern" of giving.
