1 | giving your tithe | 1 Cor 9:16 | fliha | 6256 | ||
I have a question regarding tithing. I received a bonus at work of several thousand dollars. I believe in giving 10 percent of the gross amount BUT does it have to go to the church I attend. Do you think it would be proper to give to other ministries? Ministries that preach the gospel, give to the poor, etc. If I give money to a poor family in my church would that be OK. Can you back up your answer with scripture? Im really struggling with this. Thanks | ||||||
2 | giving your tithe | 1 Cor 9:16 | Searcher56 | 6297 | ||
You do well by giving a tithe. Most church memebers do not. I think if we all did, there would be an abundance. Feel free to give where you want. I designate my tithe or offering, even when I give to the church I attend. The first example of giving to a ministry outside the church is in Acts 11:29. There are other examples. If you sense a need to give to a particular ministry, do so. As pointed out, there were three OT (Law) tithes. While the church has a budget and we need to support it (trust them), we should also feel free to give where God prompts. |
