1 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | glory777 | 22175 | ||
Johnny - I also am born-again. And as a reader of the Bible, I see no where that you have to give a certain percentage to "go to Heaven". We all know that the only thing you have to do is to believe that Jesus is Lord and died for our sins, repent and ask Him into our hearts. But we are talking about pleasing Him, not receiving our salvation. Jost to clarify for those who do not understand the way to the Lord. Debbie |

are you saying that He is displeased if we don't tithe? | ||||||
3 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | glory777 | 58201 | ||
I am not sure. I know He loves me just as much as He loves the worst sinner - Christ gave His life for us both, so no matter what I give to the Lord, He will love me. I also know that there are different crowns (real or figuratively can be debated) for service done in this life. Our works will be rewarded although salvation is not one of the rewards. So I am proposing that a tithe is a good guideline, but if possible, to go over as much as your heart takes you. Notice, I did not say "mind". My mind would tell me "I might need this extra money - food, time, fill in the blank! Sometimes, we have to go out on faith knowing the Lord will supply all our needs. I have a question for you- Is the Lord displeased if we don't bring followers to Him? Is he really pleased with men like Billy Graham (you know what I mean) and displeased if we don't "muster up" to Billy's volume? Or does he see the heart? Debbie |

The Word says that we should not lean unto our own understanding, He will direct our path. If your mind tells you "that you might need this extra money-food,time, fill in the blank," aren't you saying that you are only trusting in yourself, and not God? We need to ALWAYS go out in faith, and "know" that the Lord will always supply all of our needs, as spoken in Matthew 6:33. We all have our own puprpose in how God called us, so do we compare ourself to others such as Billy Graham or whoever? We need to be obident to the Lord in all areas of our life, even in our giving. God Bless |
