Nothing is more important in this life that sharing the creation provided for us with the Creator who so passionately loves us.  Every thing in life that we have been given the opportunity to enjoy was given to us by Him.  We want to consciously take every opportunity to demonstate our gratitude to Him and to share with Him the goodness of His blessings.

The Hebrew idea of sacrifice is completely different than the definition that many of us have grown up understanding.  The Hebrew word "korban" literally means, "to draw near."  When we offer ourselves, our services, our time and our resources to the Lord God of Israel, it is not a duty of giving up what is ours or even recognizing what is His.  It is about getting close to Him and sharing the experiences of life with Him.
