Tithing Comandments? Where is Your Faith?
April 7th, 2006 by Carl Thomas.I tithe. Why? God told my wife and I to. That’s the whole reason. Is it part of the law? Is the law passed away? Does it predate the law? Did / would Jesus tithe? I don’t know and don’t care.
I tithed for years out of obligation. I was threatened with a curse if I did not. Then I tithed because I wanted to leverage God’s blessings. Then I stopped. I realized that neither of these reasons were in God’s nature toward me, His son.
Then something funny happened. I asked God. He challanged me to tithe. He did the same with my wife. So now we tithe. That simple. I hear all kinds of stuff from offering sermonettes. Some of it is biblical, some is borderline at best. None of it has an impact on me. I have heard God.
Should you tithe? Don’t give me your 15 scriptures that back up what you have already decided to do. Tell me what God told you.
