This is just a concern of mine mainly because my wife and I went through a very difficult time of our finances awhile back and praise God He has brought us threw.At the time we were going through it seemed like that was all we would here from the pulpit was pay thites give offerrings. I believe that in some churches that the reson that is brought so much is because Pastors and churches have got away from whattithing and giving is for and have put more on building buildings and ministries and their on finanes instead of it being used for the needs of people.So when the thithes drop off they began to presure people to give more because they have not been good stewards.I know Pastors/preachers/and teaches should receive there what they have need from those they teach.What can someone else share with me on this subject that is mature and skillful in the word of God and rightly deviding the truth? | ||||||

God's true servants should not be concerned with money issues since they can rest assured on the divine providance of God: Phil:4:19 (KJV): But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Jesus' disciples went without shoes, food or money, and they lacked nothing: Lk:22:35 (KJV): And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Yet Jesus commanded us to give when we are asked to give: Mt:5:42 (KJV): Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. For God, the offering of the one who has the least has the greatest value: Luke:21:3 (KJV): And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. Jesus whipped out of God's house those who put money before God: Mark 11:15-17 (KJV): And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. God will severely judge those who abuse His servants: Matthew 18:6-7(KJV): But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! But we are not the ones to decide if what others are doing is right or wrong: Lk:6:37 (KJV): Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Romans 14:4: Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. So all we have to do is to give, when we can, to the Caesar what is the Caesar's, to God what is God's (Matthew 22:21); and the rest of the time "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10. Also, please Read Matthew 23 for Jesus' opinion about blind guides. May God bless you, Zsuzsi |
