1 | What is the purpose behind "offerings"? | NT general Archive 1 | IBLONG2GOD | 127130 | ||
In the OT, the Isrealites paid tithe, firstfruit, and gave offerings. Firstfruit was to God out of reverence, tithe was the inheritance of the Levites, and the five offerings each had their own significance. If Malachai sums up the work of the tithe, then what specifically is the work of offerings under the new covenant? | ||||||
2 | What is the purpose behind "offerings"? | Luke 21:1 | IBLONG2GOD | 127127 | ||

Think about this: If you were to stand in the pulpit and ask the congregation, "By show of hands, how many of you believe in the effectiveness of prayer?" You would think that a very great majority would raise their hands in enthusiasm, right? Right! I think the same way, but I get discouraged at the number that shows up for prayer service; and that in relation to the number that comes to Sunday morning services...we have 2. I understand the scripture about where 2 or 3 are gathered... This is not about that. This is about a people living with conviction. I used prayer as just one example, but take your pick. It could be bible study or any of the disciplines. If this describes you, discipline yourselves! Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh unto you! Stop waiting on God to act, because God is waiting for you to step out in faith. Fight the good fight of faith! |
