Step one come from Plato, “Know thyself“. That’s an easy one isn’t it. NOT! After spending nearly twenty years in the fake prada kf900 ministry I came to the conclusion that you can’t get from if you stay in the institutional church that should be institutionalized. Seriously!
Having said that, I have fake prada kf900 not given up on the churches that are truly on a fake prada kf900 quest for transformation: ones that are seeking the spirit life and fake prada kf900 not the religious life.
Haven’t you had it with “Tithing mini-sermons?”
I used to think I couldn’t have a Sunday service without “taking” an fake prada kf900 offering, which meant hammering tithe and offering concepts of the Old Testament. But now that fake prada kf900 we don’t even have a Sunday service (we do it Friday night), NOT taking an offering seems most logical.
But, before you fake prada kf900 get too giddy and greedy, remember this. While the 10% (can you say TITHE) was under the LAW, the New Testament concept of giving asks FAR ME than 10%. And I said “asks”, it doesn’t require.
Don’t you fake prada kf900 just hate it when YOU have to decide all on your fake prada kf900 little lonesome self? Bummer! Still want to be FREE?
Well then, maybe you could try out this “testimonial” from a multi-millionaire who wrote……..
“There are principles that fake prada kf900 work whether you believe in them or not. In other words, it fake prada kf900 doesn’t take OUR faith to fake prada kf900 make His principles work. The giving of your tithe is done out of obedience ….You can fake prada kf900 believe what He says about giving or not, but He is fake prada kf900 faithful to his word regardless!
The blessing comes from giving above and beyond the tithe. The area of giving was one that fake prada kf900 that was difficult for me early in my Christian walk, but once I surrendered, amazing things happened. I am fake prada kf900 always looking for ways to bless people. One thing I know for fake prada kf900 sure, I can’t out give God. Try it, you might just like it!
Still wanna be FREE?
i don’t believe tithing is fake prada kf900 for the NT believer, and i used to be under the fake prada kf900 notion that NT giving goes way beyond what the OT required, but i’ve changed that view. You see, because God’s principles never change. God always asked for 100% stewardship, and fake prada kf900 that is what the new testament and old testament is fake prada kf900 all about.
Tithes, offerings, or fake prada kf900 free will gifts of whatever nature are all nuances of the fake prada kf900 HEART. How much of a person’s income they give away to fake prada kf900 the church or others is ultimately a HEART issue and a fake prada kf900 reflection of a person’s relationship with God.
I usually don’t ask other people how much to fake prada kf900 tithe since the requirements are made manifest within Malachi (Holy Bible)… all I need it written in the Bible.
God is amazing…
Tithe = 10% so there’s really no fake prada kf900 question about a tithe except did it change in the New Testament? For those that embrace the Hebraic Old Testament covenant, that’s the deal.
But, for Christians who embrace the New Testament covenant, it’s not so mich about LAW (10%), but GRACE (heart).
